Florida pretends they know better than the rest of the world.

Given that irreversible procedures are not recommended for children already, Florida seems to be clutching at strawmen.  I have some reservations about puberty blockers, especially where some forms of gender dysphoria prove to be transitory.  Where I differ from Florida is that I think families should have full access to counseling and support resources to deal with such dysphoria.  Because not all of it is transitory, and determining which is which is crucial.

CNN says "Never mind," about CNN+.

Does this mean Brian Stelter has to keep his pants on?

But maybe it really means that CNN may return to gathering news and scrap the leftist dogma.

Too bad - they were nice kids.

Why am I not surprised you support this. It is of course right wing doctrine that parents should have control over the curriculum. Provided you are white conservative Christians complaining about liberals and not African American or mixed race people identifying racism in instruction.

Parents already have full access to counseling and other means of support and advice.

Though the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommends a ratio of 250 students per counselor, an I-Team review of school staffing reports in three of the largest school districts in Maryland, several Northern Virginia school divisions and D.C. Public Schools found none meets that recommendation.   

A similar organization for school psychologists advises school districts employ at least one psychologist for every 500 students, but the I-Team found most local school districts also fail to meet that standard.

Which has what to do with what?

Nope.  The state is advising against social transition care, which does NOT involve irreversible procedures.  And is a legitimate part of counseling and support.  Try reading the entire article next time.

/pats you on your head/

It's a news item, Ward.

Deej, only 3 states in the US meet that 250-1 guideline. Eleven states average more than double that, with greater than 500 - 1 students per counselor.
