To the ones that are saying “homeschool” that’s not always possible or even probable. Your kid is in a tough spot and you are as well. With that being said I believe it is important for you to talk to your kid and let them know that they have done nothing wrong. You also should schedule a call with the teacher and the principle. The line is crossed and it becomes a slippery slope. Let this go with the teacher and the next thing you know they will be having your child question their gender.
I hope this helps. As a mom I get it - protect your child.
It's wild how perceptive kids can be. He's clearly receiving conflicting info from different sources that he doesn't know how to reconcile. I'm not a parent so I don't really have advice on how to talk to him. But he seems sharp, he just doesn't want to deal with the madness of the real world. I know I sure don't.
