Maine school under fire for reading transgender children's book to students

Officials at an elementary school in Maine have come under fire for teaching students about transgender issues without first seeking the approval of parents.

During a lesson on tolerance and acceptance, children at Horace Mitchell Primary School in Kittery Point were read I Am Jazz, a book about a child 'with a boy's body and a girl's brain' who eventually finds a doctor that tells the family the boy is a transgender.

Some parents are unhappy with the school after they say their children came home with questions about gender and wondering if they too might be trans.
