It's getting harder to tell The Onion from real news anymore. Upset with a new measure requiring schools to use children’s preferred names, Colorado Republicans sent out a fiery e-mail, blasting the new law and calling for all parents to remove their children from public schools.

COLORADO, USA — The Colorado Republican Party is issuing a call to its members to pull their children from public school, saying Democrats are using schools to “turn more kids trans.”
The message was delivered in an email blast to Republicans statewide Tuesday.
“All Colorado parents should be aiming to remove their kids from public education,” read the directive from Darcy Schoening, director of special initiatives for the Colorado GOP.
Schoening is a former leader of the El Paso County chapter of the conservative activist group Moms for Liberty.
Under the leadership of Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams, the state Republican Party has tacked to the hard right despite holding less electoral power than at any time since before World War II.
Culture war issues, like attacks on gay and transgender people, especially youth, have become a focus of Republicans nationwide in 2024.
The Colorado GOP opposes a new measure requiring schools to use children’s preferred names, even if they have not gone through a legal name change.
And part of their dismissive message.
Colorado Kids should be able to attend public schools, receive a quality education, and be free from indoctrination, but that is far from reality. In reality, all Colorado parents should be aiming to remove their kids from public education. Sadly, with Democrats in the super majority in Denver, Non-Legal Name Changes- House Bill 24-1039, passed and was signed into law by Governor Polis. The bill, sponsored by four far-left progressives, two of whom do not know their own genders and do not have children, requires teachers in public schools to use "pronouns" for kids with gender confusion that do not align with their actual scientific gender, without parental consent.
If your child decides he identifies as a girl because he is angry with you, or all of his friends are doing it, the Colorado government will actively encourage his new fetish by allowing him to identify as "she," "they," or whatever nonsensical terms your son's teachers and peers may dream up...all without notifying you of your child's disturbing behavior, which should be treated rather then encouraged.
And so on. Colorado Republicans just aren't serious people.
