The differences between dysphoria vs. dysmorphia comes down to the following.

Gender dysphoria means someone feels the body they were born into doesn’t reflect their true self or who they are or identify with in terms of their gender.

Body dysmorphia is a disorder that results in someone perceiving a major flaw or problem with their own body, even if that perception is not based in reality. They see themselves, or a certain aspect of themselves, as “distorted” or “ugly.”

Though gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia are two different things, it’s very possible to experience both disorders, sometimes at the same time. For example, someone who has gender dysphoria may also become preoccupied with breast size. Gender identity is often linked to self or body image and can often lead to mental disorders like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), depression, and anxiety.

Colorado Public School Surveys Students on Preferred Pronouns, Without Parental Consent

At least one teacher in a Colorado public school required their students to state their preferred names and pronouns on a classroom survey, a recent public-records request revealed.

Distributed by a teacher at Heritage High School, the survey obtained by Parents Defending Education asks students their “preferred name,” their “legal name,” and their “preferred pronouns,” and specifies that, “There are no right or wrong answers and no judgement, so please answer honestly and completely.” Parents were not notified of the survey before it was conducted.

“Expecting every student to provide their pronouns as a condition of being in a class is a sign that gender ideology has made its way into the classroom,” Erika Sanzi, PDE’s director of outreach, said.

“Students have no obligation to participate in a teacher’s belief system.”

We’ve all seen the videos of fights in school: student vs. student, student vs. teacher. The incidents have increased in number since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading many parents to ask, “is my child safe at school?” and more teachers to worry about their own safety at school.

But what has led to this increase in violence and disruptions in schools? Many seem to be looking for one simple answer and the most common one seems to be school closures during COVID. And that certainly is a significant factor but it’s unlikely that lockdowns alone are to blame for the collapse of basic social and behavioral norms in our schools.

There has to be more to the story…

Below you’ll find what you need to know about school discipline. From new terms like “restorative justice,” questions to ask your school if things are getting out of hand in your child’s classroom, and groups pushing discipline policies that are having a negative effect on classroom order.

There is not a one-size-fits-all solution for discipline in k-12, but parents need to be informed in order to effect positive change in their local schools.
