Following the exposure of a hidden “Gender Support Plan” and policy to conceal student transgender procedures from parents, the whistleblower, counselor Kathy McCord, has been placed on immediate and indefinite leave, and could be facing termination.

McCord, a counselor at Pendleton Heights High School in the South Madison Community School Corporation in Indiana, confirmed documents unearthed by parents in Madison County showing that counselors were asking teachers not to reveal a student’s new name and pronouns to parents.

In an exclusive interview, McCord walked The Daily Signal through the processes set up by Andrew Kruer, the assistant superintendent at South Madison in charge of counseling. Kruer had ordered counselors to restrict teachers from sharing information about Gender Support Plans with parents, which caused outrage among parents, teachers, and other Pendleton, Indiana, residents.

McCord confirmed that the school district is using the same Gender Support Plan that The Daily Signal obtained a copy of in blank form from a source who asked to remain anonymous.

In The Daily Signal’s first report on the South Madison controversy, local parent Jason Payne asked, “If staff at South Madison are willing to lie to parents about this—what else are they willing to lie about?”

It now appears that South Madison will go to whatever lengths necessary to cover up dishonesty—and that no parent, teacher, or counselor will stand in its way.
