Obviously, the message has not resonated with the federal government that parents are fed up with the government dictating what their children are being taught and being told they have no rights as parents. On December 27, the CDC republished a “self-assessment tool” that encourages teachers, administrators, and school health staff to promote LGBT-inclusive “school environments, policies, programs, and practices.”
The CDC website has an entire section under “For Schools” devoted to “Supporting LGBTQ Youth” that includes professional development for staff. There, under “Tools for Supporting LGBT Youth,” is the self-assessment document, “LGBTQ Inclusivity in Schools: A Self-Assessment Tool.“

The CDC claims the assessment resources and their ideas do not reflect the “official opinion” of the CDC yet highly recommends the assessment document as “a focused, reasonable, and user-friendly approach to identify strategies to increase LGBTQ inclusivity in schools[.] … [O]ne strategy for improving the health and academic success of all youth.” The development of LGBT-inclusive curricula or the adaption of curricula and materials is promoted.
