It is a story that started when one dad asked his three sons who attend Southwest Elementary School in Howell a routine question: How was school today?
My son informed me there was a girl in the bathroom with him and the other kids in his class, said Matt Stewart.
He called the school. He asked why he wasnt given warning that there was a transgender child in the school, why parents didnt have a say on school policy, and what the options were to protect the privacy of his son.
Stewart didnt like the answers. He and his wife then decided to pull their three sons out of school.
As parents, we decided we were not going to force our children to make the decision between confusion, humiliation, and embarrassment, said Stewart.
So what does the school have to say? A school spokesperson gave 7 Action News a letter sent home to parents. It reads:
"As has been widely reported, on May 13, 2016, the United States Department of Justice and Department of Education issued significant guidance on the rights of transgender students. This involved the Departments interpretation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which is a statute prohibiting sex discrimination in educational programs or activities. Those Departments found that Title IX prohibits discrimination against students based on their transgender status.
With respect to restrooms, the government stated that transgender students must be allowed to access those facilities consistent with their gender identity. Any student who desires additional privacy in light of this directive may, however, make use of individual-user restrooms.
This is a new and rapidly developing area of law. Howell Public Schools intends to comply with its legal obligations in this, as well as all other, respects. Measures will, therefore, be implemented consistent with this guidance in a way which.......

I think the whole concept of how one “self-identifies” was a wrong turn. It fortifies the error that each of us can create a personal “reality” and force others to live in it.
I remember writing on FR years ago, “Why can’t we all ‘self-identify’ as Earthlings?”
We have school board members up for election, no one knows what party they are or what they support as they don’t send out literature or speak in public. Ditto goes for our judges...in Tennessee. I notice non of the political signs has party listed too.
Idiot MARRIES THE OCEAN and has sex with it. My version of the headline.

The girl is a Peeping Tomboy.

It’s sad, though. We’re talking about an elementary school here. Someone has led this poor girl to believe that she can’t be herself - whatever combination of ideas, interests, and traits “herself” has - and also be a girl, even though she IS A GIRL.
We have a growing number of very confused young people on our hands, but they’re not appearing because sunspots or the emissions from power lines. A sick society is driving more and more people around the bend, at earlier and earlier ages.
Great way of putting that. It's not enough that the reality deniers choose to embrace delusion, they demand that the rest of us play pretend, or else.
'Tis the nature of lies. If they were true, the forced validation, the threats, the bullying, the false accusations et al wouldn't be necessary. Falsehood witnesses against itself though its desperate, devious attempts to set up camp. Then the only thing left for it to use is the power base by which to destroy opposition. Hence the obsession with power.
Same root as islam: submit or die.
Say, whatever happened to the left's demand for the "right to privacy"? Seems this "right" only applies to those who need cover their evil deeds. The predator gets all the privacy he wants, but the innocent child, not so much.
Yes, exactly. I think one of the dangers of the "transgender" hoax is that it serves to get people used to having to affirm something they know to be false. Good practice for the revolutionary state.
