President Trump invited a special guest to his big speech to Congress. Her name is January Littlejohn. She’s a mom who found out her daughter’s school was doing something sneaky.
A few years ago, January’s 13-year-old daughter told her parents she didn’t feel like a girl anymore. January told the school they were getting help from a counselor. But then she found out the school was treating her daughter like a boy without telling her!
The school asked January’s daughter what bathroom she wanted to use. They even asked which boys or girls she wanted to sleep near on school trips. The school kept all this a secret from January and her husband.
January was very upset when she found out. She thinks schools shouldn’t hide things from parents. She believes moms and dads should make big choices about their kids, not schools.
President Trump agrees with January. He made new rules saying schools can’t do stuff like that anymore. If they do, they won’t get money from the government.
At his speech, Trump said kids are perfect just the way God made them. January was so happy to hear that. She thinks it means things are getting back to normal.
January is glad Trump is sticking up for parents like her. She says parents love their kids the most and should be in charge of how they grow up.
But January knows the fight isn’t over. Some people still think it’s okay for schools to keep secrets from parents. She wants everyone to know her story so it doesn’t happen to other families.
Trump invited January to his speech to show he cares about this issue. He wants to make sure parents have control over what happens to their kids at school.
January is thankful Trump is paying attention to this problem. She hopes sharing her story will help other parents protect their children too.
