TK = transitional kindergarten, kind of a pre-kindergarten, for anyone confused.
Of course the complaining parents are clearly in the wrong here. Nothing about sexuality is being discussed, only pronouns, respect, and learning/responding to social cues.
But the 'extreme' young age of the children will be the focus to most, unfortunately.
if it's transitional, then it only makes sense for the teacher to have transitioned
