US commentator Lauren Chen has claimed that parental rights are "being eroded by the day", as gender ideology surrounding pupils in schools continues to cause controversy with parents.

This comes as Dewitt Public Schools cancelled their plans after proposing a "voluntary lesson" to promote "greater understanding, compassion, and kindness regarding gender identity and the use of pronouns".

Speaking to GBNA, Chen said we are reaching a point in both American and British society where gender ideology is becoming "polarised".

In a discussion with host Mark Dolan, Chen revealed that parents "don't have the rights" in some states to protect their children from the "indoctrination" of gender identity in schools.

When asked if the "idea of hundreds of genders in schools" is "here to stay", Chen explained: "We are reaching a point in society where we're actually becoming polarised.

"If you go to places like California and the great state of Tennessee, there's legislation protecting children fror this type of indoctrination."
