Ascension Parish School - Head Start - UPDATE

Given the current political landscape and debate surrounding the LGBT crowd, I thought this would be something for the political board. I've read about different methods of conditioning children and planting seeds of doubt about sexuality, but this was the first time that I had something like this happen to someone close to me.

Ascension Parish Primary School, Head Start interview for a 4 year old possibly entering a Pre-K program. Some sort of screening process where kids are evaluated before starting Pre-K.

Child and mother are present with a school official and this official asks the 4 year old, "Are you a boy or a girl?"

Kids quickly answers " a boy".

Official - "Are you sure?"

Mom almost falls out of her chair, interview continues and toward the end the child is directed to draw a picture of himself.

Kid draws a stick figure with arms, legs, head, eyes, mouth. Official asks "Hmmm, you said you were a boy, did you forget something on your picture of yourself?"

Mom says, "let's move on to the next part of the interview.

Extra tidbit, Official asks " is he always so hyper?" Mom - "well he does like to stay moving " Official - "Oh well hes going to need to be medicated"

Is this really the sort of crap that is happening?

What would you do?

UPDATE:

I used Head Start, but it was something called Early Child Development, maybe that's the same thing? That's a whole other can of worms...

So, the mom called the principal. I told her to record it, but she was nervous and couldn't get the app to work. She explained the scenario and Principal couldn't believe it, basically commenting "is that question in the screening?" and "she's not qualified". The Principal also let slip that she hasn't even read the screening questions. Are you kidding? Its YOUR school? She promised to read over the screening questions, speak with the interviewer and call her back on Monday. Pretty sad if you ask me. So your school is screening students and as a Principal you haven't even reviewed the screening questions? The principal also could not say whether or not the interviewer had been trained for the screening process. The interviewer is a para-professional, which sounds like an assistant teacher??? So hopefully this is just a case of incompetence on her part and not a targeted approach...

I'll update when I hear back from the school board.
