Anecdotally, my own inquiries of teachers serving in middle and high schools have verified these concerns. A decade ago, a "naturally occurring" trans/gender dysphoric student would show up every few years. Now, social/tech induced "rapid onset gender dysphoria" seems to better describe the existing influx.
I've heard similar things from friends. Personally, I think concerns about curriculum are actually secondary to tech use. Kids aren't reading, they're spending most of their time consuming content online. I have a follow up article to this one (which I didn't put it on here because I didn't like the editor's click-bait title and because it didn't match the vibe of PGds: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/how-big-tech-turns-kids-trans/ )
