“It’s true,” Trump insisted to rally crowds, claiming public schools secretly send children for gender surgery and return them “three or four days later” without parental consent.
Donald Trump has brought back an old fabricated story for the final stretch before the 2026 midterm elections. At a rally in Georgia last week, he told supporters that schools in five or six states secretly send children off for gender surgery without telling their parents.
“We got critical race theory and transgender mutilization (sic) insanity out of our schools. I mean, we have five states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy, three or four days later. It’s true,” Trump said during his speech in Georgia.
Since then, Trump has repeated the false story at rallies across Kentucky, Kansas, and Ohio. CNN fact-checked the story and found nothing to support it. CNN also gave White House officials a chance to provide evidence for Trump’s transgender claim.
No state allows classrooms to schedule hospital operations behind a family’s back. Across the country, pediatric doctors and school leaders confirmed that such secret hospital trips simply never happen.
