PHILADELPHIA — Parent Stephanie Jamison feels like she’s playing defense anticipating the next accusations that will confront the Souderton Area School District:
Suggestions of pornography harbored in school libraries. Claims of “political and sexual indoctrination” in classrooms. A mother’s allegation, spread widely on social media, that teachers encouraged and concealed her child’s gender transition.
Similar issues have been voiced in other communities. To Jamison, who started a group for progressive parents in her district, the complaints — many levied by a rival camp of conservatives that has become a vocal presence on social media and at school board meetings — feel coordinated.
