How sad that even Texas isn't safe from Caitlyn Jenner's sisters.

[Dilbert San Diego]

This is the world we live in. It’s sad that we have devolved to this point. Our children will be exposed to this in school. And will be compelled to accept it as normal.

my son's kindergarten class had a new intern last week: a male who appears to be transgendering, in desperate need of a training bra, and wearing drag-queen quality makeup. Writing the post on Friday was cathartic, and I had basically come to the conclusion that my son would probably not notice the things I did about the new intern

Wrong. Kids' intellects and ability to draw conclusions may not be as developed, but their perceptions of what they see are probably more accurate than adults'. So she does need to help this child form an appropriate attitude. And it wouldn't hurt to "help" the principal and the school board, either. Oh, and start homeschooling.

...transgendering, in desperate need of a training bra, and wearing drag-queen quality makeup.....

Not that long ago, someone looking like that would be escorted off campus, with the school princioal refusing to subject the pupils to such perversion.

We homeschool and don’t have television. But my wife still decided it was time to tell our seven year old that if you see the wrong person in the bathroom, that person is likely half crazy, don’t say anything, just LEAVE!

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that”...

It’s next.

[Jeff Chandler]

we didn't have to understand it but could respect it

Could, but shouldn't. It is wrong to accept mental illness as normal and healthy, and it is a parent's duty to teach his child the truth.

Basically, I told him to have the attitude of "you do you and let me do me" and we can all get along well in this world.

Pervs, murderers, Satanists, drunk drivers and arsonists should just do their thing, right? Kumbaya!

Son - See that man right there?

He has mental issues. He thinks dressing up and acting like a woman will solve those issues.

He is wrong. This is will not help him. Stay away from him.

Many years ago, I saw an awful movie called Americathon, starring John Ritter as the president of a bankrupt U.S. in the mid-90's. He acted like John Ritter always acts, and when Bill Clinton was president, I thought we were halfway there. It's late, and we are in the stage between "Gone with the Wind" and "Idiocracy", which is "Americathon.

One scene where Harvey Korman plays the lead character in a TV show called "Both Father and Mother" is a reflection of where we are today. When I first saw "Americathon", I thought it was just weird, and its vision of America was barf-worthy. And yet, it got more right than wrong 37 years ago. I guess that kind of people who made movies like Americathon executed their vision of the country.

I would not want to be having this talk. If I tell them the truth they will get in trouble in school. And, if I make it up they will not truly be informed. What to do? What to do?

[IronJack]

I would have told him that the little boy in question is sick, and that he should have help. But that is not the son’s responsibility. However, modeling oneself after a sick person simply means that one becomes sick himself. And you don’t want to become sick, do you?

[llevrok]

as I always said to my daughter when she was growing up and facing me with her world - “there are some things my mom never told me about” (starting with the Bill Clinton / Monica affair and what they were “doing”)

[VanDeKoik]

“and I told him simply a boy doesn’t walk around shirtless in front of girls. “

Uh....what?

[I want the USA back]

Schools deliberately and intentionally expose kids to this kind of thing. The reason is that they want to make kids reject the value system they learned from their parents and accept the new leftist “value system.”

[GregoTX]

A month ago or so the talk I had with my 7 year old. I told him that if kisses his elbow, he will turn into a girl. I then caught him trying to do it and teased him mercilessly.

Ahhh good parenting.

[Trillian]

Feeling bigoty? Really? Seeing someone who is mentally ill and knowing it, is not bigoty. You should never allow your child to be around these types of people.

[JenB]

I fell into the political correctness trap in a way because my son is too vocal and has a frail filter when it comes to sharing his opinion about things. Had I told him the way the intern was dressing is wrong, which I believe it is wrong to force his preference on young innocent children, there is a good chance he would have returned to school this morning and confronted the intern, perhaps resulting in a visit with the principal, something we have miraculously avoided so far this year.

The right reaction would be "I went to the principal's office the next day to inform him my son would be withdrawn from the school".

The coming reckoning and correction will be bloody and brutal. :(

Actually, if you follow the news, you will see that many of the most outrageous violations of First Amendment rights are in Texas - especially, but not exclusively, in the public schools.
This is why the Feds took over education: to force its way on the True Blue (so-called Red) States.
They already conquered the commie states. Texas is their Number One target, because of its electoral numbers and its border contiguity.
