The Trump administration is "working to protect our children from toxic ideologies in our schools," President Donald Trump told the nation during a televised address to Congress last night. He went on to share a story about January Littlejohn and her husband, Jeffrey, who allegedly "discovered that their daughter's school had secretly socially transitioned their 13-year-old little girl," conspiring to "deceive January and her husband while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and…they/them pronouns."
The school did this "all without telling January," Trump reiterated, before touting his administration's efforts to make public schools less friendly to "transgender ideology."
Trump immediately pivoted to talking about how he would help pass a bill to criminalize "sex changes on children," blurring the lines between mild actions like calling students by their preferred pronouns and major medical interventions of the sort that are exceedingly rare.
