Colorado GOP urges parents to remove kids from public schools
DENVER (KDVR) — The Colorado Republican Party is telling parents to aim “to remove their kids from public education.” In a newsletter to supporters, Republican party leaders cited concerns about a new state law that requires schools to use students’ preferred names and pronouns.
The newsletter highlighted a specific situation.

“If your child decides he identifies as a girl because he is angry with you, or all of his friends are doing it, the Colorado government will actively encourage his new fetish by allowing him to identify as ‘she,’ ‘they,’ or whatever nonsensical terms your son’s teachers and peers may dream up,” the newsletter reads.
It goes on to say the only way for children to get a quality education and be free from LGBTQ indoctrination is to leave the public school system.
Is this the right approach for Colorado’s GOP?
On this week’s “Colorado Point of View,” political analysts said the directive is not the right approach.
Republican analyst Michael Fields said the party should instead support school choice, adding: “I do think there should be transparency in what is being discussed, what is being taught. I think that is essential when you’re talking about this discussion.”

Democratic analyst Andy Boian said the party is overstepping, adding it’s not appropriate.
“I think it’s the wrong issue and I think it’s the wrong thing to concentrate on …The GOP in Colorado is shrinking. It’s becoming less and less relevant and they’re looking for things to become relevant or stay relevant,” Boian said.
