Letter to the Editor | Peninsula School District policy 3211P

Posted on October 13th, 2025 By: Doyle Hughes

PSD 401 policy 3211P — “… transgender or gender-expansive student …”

What the hell has happened to the Gig Harbor parental community in their responsibilities for taking charge in the raising and welfare of their children?

Has Gig Harbor community parents just procreated children and then gone off to live their busy lives without personally and responsibly seeing to their children’s welfare? Hello — we’re talking about our children here!

How can any organization usurp parental rights and responsibilities pertaining to children under the age of 18 years old?

Also and very important in any child/student and PSD employee situation — is the PSD employee seriously qualified to perform a PSD self-imposed intervention, without the parent’s consent nor present? Do the parents even receive a transcript and a validated determination, of the intervention?

This is ludicrous!!!!!!

And — if PSD 401 is basing this action upon some “other government overreach,” PSD 401 needs to go to Amazon.com and buy some testicals! (sic)
