School District: Don't Call the Children "Boys & Girls"
Todd Starnes ^ | August 16, 2016 | Todd Starnes

Teachers in Charlotte, North Carolina have been advised to stop calling the children “boys and girls,” according to a training presentation on transgender issues.

Instead, the progressives who control Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools want teachers to identify the youngsters as either “students” or “scholars.”

So what if a teacher has a student who is dumb as a rock? Would the child still be called a scholar?

he transgender guidelines, which will go into effect later this month, range from the absurd to downright outrageous.

For example, boys who identify as girls would be permitted to participate on overnight all-girl field trips. That’s a rule sure to be a hit among the 13-year-olds.

Another guideline indicates parents could be left out of their child’s gender decision-making. Consider Regulation JICK-R: Privacy Concerns:

“Involvement of parents in the plan is determined in working with the student, considering the student’s age and health, wellbeing and safety concerns.”

In other words, Jack may be a boy at home, but at school Jack becomes Jill.

“Staff must take care not to ‘out’ a student to others, including the parents of an older student, without the student’s consent,” the presentation stated. “In contacting the parents, use the student’s name/pronoun on birth certificate unless student or parent says otherwise.”

Anyone else ever think, that the world, or at least the liberals who run things, has gone off the deep end??

And anyone else think, that while we have angst about this gender identity stuff, that Muslim terrorist or another outside force will destroy us someday, because we will have collapsed from within???

Translation: "We know better than the parents what's best for their kids."

Most states get between $7000 to $15000 a student.
Deduct teacher pay and then we have to ask, where did all this vast sums of money go?

How about we don’t call them “Teachers” and call them “perverts, destroyers of young minds ..”

Are they going to allow boys to play on the girls teams?

If they consider a boy to really be a girl then Title Nine would apply. wouldn't it?

Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that states:

"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination
under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

So why does God state the opposite?

Genesis 2

18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
19 So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him.
21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh;
22 and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.

Hopefully the Archbishop of Lincoln, NE will speak out about this.

I work at a school district just south of Charlotte and many of the teachers are saying, “Oh great, CMS makes ANOTHER stupid decision that will send teachers fleeing into all the surrounding counties.”

That might actually be part of the desired effect.

When the "normal" teachers flee they can be replaced by drones who toe the leftist/globalist line.

Went to my granddaughter’s first awards gig. 600 students out of 800 got awards. Ridiculous waste of everyone’s time.

"“Staff must take care not to ‘out’ a student to others,..."

I'm confused. I thought they were to be celebrated.

STOP THE MADNESS! A BOY IS A BOY AND A GIRL IS A GIRL!

If anomalies exist they represent an infinitesimal number and should not dictate to we, who are the “NORMS!”
