School under fire for transgender kindergarten lesson
Education Action Group Foundation ^ | April 20 2015 | Victor Skinner

Officials at Mitchell Primary School are apologizing after a book about a transgender child was read to most of the school’s K-3 students.

Criticism flooded the district after Fox News host Sean Hannity posted about the lesson on his website, prompted by a Mitchell school mother who was angry she wasn’t given advanced warning that teachers were reading students the book “I am Jazz” by Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings, the news site reports.

The book details the struggles of a child “with a boy’s body and a girl’s brain,” who eventually finds a doctor that tells the family the boy is a transgender.

The mother said she tried to approach school officials about her concerns but was given the cold shoulder.

“When I spoke with the principal he was very cold about it,” she said. “It’s amazing how thoughtless the school has been with this whole thing.”

“All information has been posted on the school’s guidance blog for parent review.”

That blog, written by guidance counselor Dana Richerich, contends “some people may think primary school students are too young to worry about addressing issues surrounding gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) students. Not so, experts say. It’s never too early to begin teaching children about respecting differences.”

Yeah, kindergarteners are "questioning their sexuality".

Catch them young before they might be able to reason through the problem. Bet a lot of cases like this are oversheltered by the mother and have a distant or absent father... so they get an unnatural aversion to their own gender.

It takes a village to make things even worse than they are!

I guess the only way to eliminate this crap is to run conservatives for school boards and start flushing the local systems from the top down.

Every teacher and administrator in any way connected to this should be fired immediately

It would be better a millstone hung around their necks and cast into the sea than to offend one of these little ones

This; "Easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission" shit has gone too far ... drastic repercussions MUST occur !


The language they speak is money .... PARENTS ... TAKE EVERY CHILD OUT OF THAT SCHOOL AND NEVER GO BACK ...

The indoctrination marches on. All the LGBTQAA crowd is saying is “you’re wrong G-d and I’m right.” See tagline.

Yeah, especially that guidance counselor Dana (Third) Richerich. What a creep.

Children have no idea what gender confusion is...clearly some pervy adult got that book in the school to groom a child.

Luke 17:2
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones

Mark 9:42
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Matt 18:6
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

I chose Dr Luke

Sounds like an issue of context here, all three referring to the same thing.

Helping committedly wicked souls be wicked isn’t considered as evil as corrupting a soul that is (has begun) striving for purity.

The evil is difficult to deal with. Impossible, no. Perhaps future generations of Christians will get wise to the spiritual issues involved. The grace of God is the only thing that can fight the evil of Satan.

Opening the door to the devil like that can only help the devil prey on ignorant (”innocent” in that sense) children.

I could wish that troubled adults would not look to children for their amen corner. It is so destructive.

Cowards use children to further their desires, and are often protected by the bureaucratic state.

The harpies who pen such books as this must be miserable souls.

it’s funny how they never ‘accidently’ give the kids a bible story to read or a Christian book to read-

I'm on the local school board and God gave that verse (without the believe in me) a week ago and a circumstance arose Thursday that made it powerfully apropos

School's out in a month or two and some gay activists have begun a tactic that will fester over the summer to cause big headaches in the fall
