In the midst of controversy surrounding a transgender student, the Hillsboro School District accepted the resignations of three board members Thursday morning.

The four remaining board members met at 6:30 a.m. Thursday to accept the resignations from Board President John Stewart, Vice President Dan McCarthy and Director Bo Harrison.

Superintendent Aaron D. Cornman said Stewart's and Harrison's letters simply announced they were resigning their seats and gave no reason. McCarthy, meanwhile, wrote that he was resigning due to strained philosophical differences. He did not elaborate.

The three resignations follow more than a week of controversy surrounding a transgender student’s fight to use the girls’ bathroom and locker room at the local high school.

Lila Perry, who previously had been living as a gay male, came out as transgender in the middle of last school year. She determined this year she would no longer be content using a gender-neutral restroom.

Harrison said in an interview Thursday that he is upset the school board wasn't doing more to keep the transgender student separated from girls.

"I love kids, he's a kid," Harrison said. "Would I stand by and let somebody hurt him? No. But I won't stand by and let him make a donkey out of that school and be in there with a bunch of young girls. That's as asinine as it could get."

Harrison, a retired carpenter, said he sharply disagreed with some school district officials who feared the district would lose government funding if it didn't bow to the wishes of the transgender student.

"Some said we could lose tax money if they didn't give this kid a bathroom and all of that," Harrison said. "I say don't give this kid anything."

Except for this one retired carpenter (bet they hate him big-time), the members refused to comment. All that matters is the money, and the federal government (i.e., Obama) has all the money now. Too bad for your kids!

This student is likely to learn all of the wrong lessons from this episode. And after every single manager changes every single thing, this boy still won’t be happy. He will learn to derive satisfaction from making other bend to his elaborate, inconsiderate demands. I guess the parents either approve his actions or have zero influence on him. Extraordinarily selfish.

[Jarhead9297]

He needs his self consumed a@@ whooped. Just sayin

[Mercat]

I agree. In my long life I’ve known two people who have gone down this path, seeking one thing and then another to create a false happiness. Sad.

In a sane world the "transgendered" would be committed to a mental institution where they could get the help that they need.

"Lila" is not content to use the gender neutral facilities and demands to use the female shower and restrooms.

Arrest the sodomite the first time he enters the girl's facility.

She determined this year she would no longer be content using a gender-neutral restroom.

He already had his own special bathroom and he was not satisfied with that much special treatment? What a selfish son of a b***h!

Yeah, jarhead, he needs a real good whuppin'.

[SoFloFreeper]

From what I gather, the intelligent ones resigned and the board members who don’t understand the difference between boys and girls stayed on. Disgusting.

[greeneyes]

Seems to me the kid can’t decide who or what he is. Next year he could claim to be something else and make some other ignorant demands.

Why should his rights over rule the desires of girls who might not want to share a bathroom with someone who has the equipment associated with being a male?

The parents of this school need to band together and make just as big a stink about their kids rights.

Every school district in the USA should start weaning away from the Federal Teet anyway. The way things are going there’s not going to be any Federal money to be had anyway.

The student is male, therefore they use the male locker rooms and bathrooms. Who they are sexually attracted to should have no bearing on anything else.

Basic Education for
the four geniuses on the school board and
other liberals:

Males have XY chromosomes.

Females have XX chromosomes.

The person you are allowing to hang out in the girl's locker room and toilet area is a male, no matter how many body parts he cuts or distorts or tucks or how many chemicals he injects into his body.

Period.

Full stop.

End of story.

For a society that somehow thinks of itself as educated and scientific, we sure have found a way to pervert PERCEPTION over REALITY.

If you dress in women's clothing but still have your male junk you are not a transgender, you are a transvestite.

[Jarhead9297]

Amen! The parents of today have created the self absorbed beasts of tomorrow. I fear for this generation greatly.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Maybe they need to just label the restrooms “inies” and “outies.” Or “P” and “V.”

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The rise of the tyranny of the minority. But it is not even that they are a legitimate minority. It is more like the tyranny of the manufactured minority.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Back in the olden days a group of strong healthy seniors would have taken the pervert out behind the gym and produced a razor to take care of business.

Interesting how many of these suddenly realize they really are males when confronted with a straight razor or castration knife.

[17th Miss Regt]

Pruning shears work as well!

[Let's Roll]

It’s time for the girls to boycott the school. If enough of them do that, public funding will dry up. Watch how fast Lila gets thrown under the bus when that happens.

It is pure Marxism to destroy civil society and make all the children so dumb and irrational that base instincts control all reason-—there is no abilty to “think” since everything they learn (Daddy’s Roommate) is an irrational Lie-—and pagan, satanic, muslim ethics of pro-sodomy.

Cicero: Wisdom is discerning Good and Evil. (That is impossible for children who are made irrational and devoid of Truth/God).

We are erasing not only Reason-—but embedding irrational concepts back in tribal minds-—where Modern Science could NEVER exist-—so that the “masters/elites” can easily manipulate and control the useful idiots with baubles and cramps-—like the “happy obamaphone lady”.

It was planned with the Prussian system of mass indoctrination and total control of textbooks in the 1930s-—to destroy Common Sense and embed irrational, vile desires so that you can actually flip Good and Evil-—to erase Reason/Science and the ability for critical thinking.

GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF THE SYSTEM OF MASS INDOCTRINATION-—they control their emotions and connect them to irrational concepts like Slavery is Freedom and boys are girls so they have worthless minds.

It goes back to the Germans-—Wundt and Fichte——and the University of Leipzig: in 1810 Fichte stated: “Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished ... The social psychologist of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at: first, that influences of the home are ‘obstructive’ and verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective ... It is for the future scientist to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for more than one generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.”
