I read where some public schools are spending almost $30,000 per year per student. So a classroom of 20 students cost taxpayers $600,000 per year?

I am over the age of 50 and I’ve never met even one transgendered person. How about these so-called educators focusing on the 99.999% where they are FAILING?

Can I ask why we need to do this?

I don’t understand all of the “LGBT” agenda issues, obviously.

But, it occurs to me that this stuff has no place in schools.

Meaning, that we should just deal with male students and female students.

If someone really feels like a girl in a boy’s body and all of that, stow it until you are legally an adult. Then, go explore with the mental health professionals and doctors as to what your condition is.

Ditto, this talk of “gay” students. If they really feel they are gay, save it until they graduate, then head on down to The Castro, if they so desire, and explore that lifestyle to their heart’s content.

I just see no need to deal with any of this in school with school age children.

Flame away.

I can just imagine a teenage comedy movie coming out of Hollywood on this subject.

In the movie, totally straight boys announce they are trans-whatevers, so that they can go into the girls bathroom and girls locker room. And hilarity ensues..........

And the politically correct types would have a meltdown, because they would be angry that anyone would make fun of this subject like that.

Yes, I can just see it.

"Attention parental units...we need to talk..."

I'm sure this happens all of the time.

Whatever happened to the peanut-butter allergy scare from about 10 years ago? If you remember, we were banning kids from taking peanut-butter sandwiches to school and all peanut products were getting removed from school cafeterias and vending machines. All this fuss because a zero-point-something percentage of kids were identified as "peanut allergic."

Before you know it, all these crazed "Münchausen syndrome by proxy" moms started coming out of the woodwork to holler and screech about how their poor children were being exposed to these evil peanuts in school and how, gosh-darn it, all the rest of us had to do something about it so that their precious children could be safely quarantined in "peanut-free" zones.

I don't know about you but I don't remember hearing about a single student that ever died because one of his classmates unwrapped a Reese's peanut butter cup in his presence out in the school yard.

Now the flavor of the moment for the "Münchausen syndrome by proxy" crowd is that their little boys like to wear dresses and heels to school and damn it, the rest of us better accept that fact and make special accommodations for their "little princesses". Never mind the fact that these mentally deranged moms forced the feminization of their little boys because either they wanted a girl instead of a boy or because they knew that by doing so, they might gain some celebrity for themselves and maybe get on the Oprah show. Or a combination of both.

Anyway, I'm sick of this culture of "I'm special and you must accommodate me, or else". Used to be you send your kids to school to learn and they obeyed the rules or they got punished - both at school AND at home.

” He told teachers and classmates at his Kansas high school that the student they had known as a girl now wanted to be accepted as a boy.”

No. More like

He told teachers and classmates at his Kansas high school that the student they had known as a girl now demanded to be addressed and treated as a boy. Any mistakes would be punished.

With the ADA legislation, mentally ill children have to be accepted in public schools too.

Humoring mental illness instead of healing it - USA! USA!

Schools in districts large and small, conservative and liberal, are working to help transitioning youth fit in without a fuss.

Enablers.
