Parents and grandparents are always first in line to defend their children and grandchildren.
While youngsters frequently don’t know any better, it’s not uncommon for them to push their guardians’ limits to see how far they can go. In the case of this youngster, a teacher was pushing the boundaries, and the parents had had it. While parents have the right to say “yes” or “no” to decisions such as what their child should dress or do during the school day or daycare, one teacher denied this right to a child’s caretaker.
As would be the case with any other parent in a similar situation, the guardian in issue was not pleased. In a Rumble video, a daycare worker got into a fight with a grandma. Grandpa, like most caregivers, wanted to know what was going on with his grandson while he was in school. What was the reason for the fight? The grandpa discovered his son getting dressed in a dress at daycare.
When the grandfather arrived at the daycare to meet with the teacher in charge, he quickly realized that his fight to decide what his grandson wears (and does not wear) would be a long one. Though the grandfather was not named as caretaker on one of the documents, he pointed out that the situation was utterly inappropriate. Guiding him to the director, the daycare worker expressed her concern about the situation but emphasized that she was not in charge.
The woman in question was in charge of the dress situation when she spoke with the director in accordance with the daycare’s protocols.
The grandfather is outraged and refuses to back down, demanding that the teacher never put his grandson in a dress again.
While the responsible teacher wanted to follow protocol, the grandfather was having none of it. In a circumstance like this, it’s preferable to speak with everyone in control, but the heat of the moment can quickly overwhelm. With his emotions running high, the grandfather screamed, “We don’t do transgender and all that”. Although this is the man’s opinion, what should be done in such a situation? What can a teacher do if a student chooses to wear a dress? What can the parents do if the teacher decides to dress the child this way?
The teacher claims that she does not “do transgender stuff” either, but his grandchild is two.
With tensions so high on social media and in the real world surrounding this subject, this type of confrontation appears unavoidable.
The grandfather’s frustration comes to an end without resolution. Throughout the video, he makes it plain that the instructor should never put his grandson in a dress again. Regardless, the teacher never apologizes or attempts to amend her behavior. What would a parent or grandparents do? Forcing a child to wear something without their parents’ permission, whether it’s a dress, shoes, or any other article of apparel, is wrong. The grandfather insists to be heard and assures the teacher, “This ain’t over!”
With the promise of making her go viral, the grandfather records the episode on camera, which has already gone viral after a few thousand views. While the video closes without a resolution, we can guarantee that the grandfather hasn’t given up on his cause.
