A gay man wearing a "Groom Dogs Not Kids" shirt, who claimed to be the uncle of two students in the Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) in California, berated the district's school board earlier this week over accusations it teaches controversial gender identity topics to students.

If I were to teach your kids about my sexuality without your consent, I’d be arrested," Mario Presents said to the school board in a viral video. "But when the school district does it, it's education."

A father in the district alleged earlier this summer that students as young as nine years old were learning about gender dysphoria in the district without parental consent, even though California only requires "comprehensive sexual health education" for grades 7 to 12.

Furthermore, since 2015, parents in California have had to proactively pull their kids from sex ed instruction, as opposed to the school being required to obtain parental consent before teaching it.

Can you imagine the uproar if schools were evangelizing or baptizing children without parental consent?" Presents continued during his two minutes in front of the CVUSD school board. "Isn't that sort of what you're doing?"

Presents also argued that affirming a teenager's gender is "akin to affirming anorexia."

Both are body dysmorphic disorders, yet we don't teach the starving teenagers how to binge and purge or affirm that they are indeed overweight," Presents said.

CVUSD is just one of many school districts across the country facing controversy over parental rights related to gender identity instruction and privacy among students and their families.

Many proponents of teaching the material to the nation's youngest students argue no federal law compels them to tell parents about their child's changing gender preferences or gender-questioning behavior. But the Supreme Court has recognized for years "that parents have a constitutional right to raise and educate their children how they see fit," according to Sarah Perry, legal fellow for the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation.

Parents must be a part of the education process when teaching sexuality to students, and it definitely doesn't need to happen under the age of ten years old," Presents concluded during his address to the school board, earning himself resounding applause.

The National Desk reached out to CVUSD for comment and was directed to a message sent to community members in May.

“It is imperative for our community to know facts. First, sexuality and gender identity are not instructional content in elementary standards or curriculum. Second, we do have legal and professional responsibilities to create inclusive learning environments, which does mean actions that affirm students’ identities," the message read. "Fulfilling these responsibilities means that at Maple Elementary and across all District schools we: use inclusive language, use an individual's names and pronouns, and create a gender affirming classroom and school environments."
