Kindergartner Provokes Debate Over Transgender Policy at Minnesota School
The New American ^ | 14 January 2016 | Raven Clabough

Posted on 01/19/2016 12:56:58 PM PST by detective

Parents of a five-year old "transgender" child are asking the school's kindergarten class to take up the task of educating students on gender dysphoria, the condition of identifying as a sex that is opposite of one's biological makeup. The request has prompted opposition from a number of parents, while several others have voiced their support.

According to the Daily Caller, it began when the parents of a gender-confused boy, who remains unidentified, sent their child to Nova Classical Academy, a charter school in St. Paul, Minnesota, wearing a girl's jumper and pink shoes. The parents, Hannah and Dave Edwards, indicated that they were concerned that their son may be bullied, and asked that the school pre-empt any potential bullying at an instructional level. "He has said before, 'I feel like a girl in my heart, I feel like I have both boy and girl,'" dad Dave Edwards told the Fox station. "We're not yet sure of the person that our son is. He's in kindergarten."

Parents dress their 5 year old son for school in a girl's dress and pink shoes. They expect school to teach kindergartners lessons in "gender dysphoria."

We're not yet sure of the person that our son is.

He's a boy, you brainless nitwits!

Have the boy and his parents stand if front of the student assembly, and have the school staff ridicule the family off the stage, out of the auditorium, out of the parking lot, out of the district, and out of the state.

A good lesson re gender dysphoria.

Maybe under the Constitution it’s someone’s right to dress as they choose, but it should be child abuse to encourage their own children to dress as the opposite sex and to think they are what they AREN’T.

And it is NOT in someone’s right to make OTHER people treat them AS THEY ARE NOT.

‘We’re not yet sure of the person our son is’

Really? He is a BOY. Maybe you, as parents, should guide him in the direction of being a male. Stop crumbling to the political correctness of ‘gender dysphoria’. It will do your SON no good.

I think the child’s father needs to be examined.

Why not just paint a bulls eye on his back and be done with it?

Children have very effective bulls*** filters and ‘gender dysphoria’ is going to translate into a beating on the playground and if the liberals push this too hard the beating will simply be worse.

That poor boy will have such problems all his life.
He will age like a male, get nose and ear hair like a male. He won't be able to bear children. He'll have to "buy" some boobs.

His parents should be SHOT in the butt 10,000 times. Ow.

If they know what gender dysphoria is why are they not seeking psychiatric help? My guess is the boy has regurgitated some of their left wing bile and they took it as an opportunity to send him into the meat grinder as a freak.

Note to parents encouraging this behavior. If you don't want your son bullied at school, don't put him in a dress. Don't expect the whole entire school to change because of what you're doing to your son. I would never tolerate the teaching of this BS to my children, other parents should do the same.

Three possibilities -

1) the parents are gay and one legally changed their name (so each have opposite sex names) and they are forcing their lifestyle on their kid.

2) the parents are too cheap to buy new clothes. They have an older daughter and are re-using her stuff on the boy.

3) the parents are democrats

First, Kindergartners will have no clue what “gender” confusion is. They flip out in hysterics if they even hear the word, “underwear”. I cannot imagine some idiot trying to get across to a group of 4 and 5 year olds what the hell it means when a boy thinks he’s a girl or visa versa.

Insanity on parade.

Arrest them for child abuse.
They are doing for attention for themselves.
