that children of all ages - including pre-school - can request to be addressed by different names and pronouns WITHOUT their parents' permission
A school district in northern Virginia is requiring all teachers to complete a training program that says all students - including preschoolers - can request to be addressed by different names or pronouns without parental permission.
Fairfax County Public Schools - a school district that has made headlines for woke policies and clashes over teaching critical race theory - started the program 'Supporting Gender Expansive and Transgender Youth' on July 22.
The training details requests students can make without parental permission, according to materials obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Modern English contains only one pronoun for addressing somebody: "You". "Thou" has long been obsolete.
There simply aren't any other pronouns for addressing somebody. If a student requests to be addressed by a pronoun other than "you", he'll have to invent one, in which case the teacher can say "That's not a pronoun. Not in English."
Any American parent who still has children in the government schools is an idiot. There is no nice way to say that.

I seem to recall the great Calvin of Calvin and Hobbs fame disagreeing, as he once insisted that he was to be addressed only in the 3rd person.

Are the Ten Commandments obsolete? Not in my view they are not. ;)
