A COUNSELOR ENDORSED THE BELIEF THAT THE CHILD 'COULD BE A BOY'

After a 12-year-old girl attempted suicide on school property twice after months of secret meetings with a school counselor, her parents have filed a lawsuit.

On Jan. 5, Wendel and Maria Perez received a call from Destiny Washington, who identified herself as a school counselor at Paterson Elementary School (PES) in Fleming Island, Florida, part of Clay County District Schools. Washington told Mr. and Mrs. Perez they needed to come to the school immediately. Washington said it was about their daughter, a sixth-grader, but would not reveal any further information.

When the Perezes arrived at the school they waited in the lobby for 20 minutes before someone came to escort them to a room where Washington, PES Principal John O’Brian, Vice Principal Courtney Schumacher, and a Clay County Schools Police officer were waiting. Mr. and Mrs. Perez were instructed to sit down. According to the federal lawsuit obtained by The Epoch Times—filed Jan. 24 by Child and Parental Rights Campaign, Inc. on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Perez—Washington told the Perezes the reason they were called to the school was because their daughter “had tried to commit suicide by hanging herself in the school restroom.”

Washington then informed the parents the reason why their daughter tried to kill herself was “because of her gender identity issue” and the fact they would “would not be in agreement with these changes” because of “their Christian Catholic religious beliefs.” As the Perezes sat reeling, Washington stunned them again. The Jan. 5 suicide attempt was the second effort. Their daughter had also tried to hang herself the day before. Without explaining how the child survived the first attempt, Washington insisted school staff was not aware of the first attempt prior to the...

If that was my child, they wouldn’t have to worry about a lawyer. They’d have to worry about personal protection services and finding a good plot where they want buried.

Yep. I would be in prison. But they would be in Hell. Thank the Lord that mine are passed that age because I would not allow my child to be abused as some are.

In a just world, you wouldn’t be convicted for stringing them up from the school flagpole.

Matthew 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.

It got so crazy, but it wasn’t long ago. I had a terrible mother but a wonderful dad. Loved to watch him shave in the morning and he dabbed a bit of shaving cream on my nose. Also loved to walk around in his shoes and hats. I was perhaps 7. In a million years, I would never have wanted a “sex change.”

I do NOT think I’m exceptional. I was just a kid and grew up to be who I am. Mom of two wonderful kids, one sadly died a few months ago. But he’ll always live in my heart.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

That’s a scary story. Florida is sounding like communist Massachusetts a couple of decades ago, except they have a better Governor than Romney was. I hope that helps. The teachers are determined to ruin this nation.

“I would not allow my child to be abused as some are.”

Probably this girl’s parents feel the same way — if they had known. The article says the meetings between the kid and the school were “secret”, so it’s a case of “you don’t know what you don’t know” for Mom and Dad.

Shameful! When we were growing up, generally the schools could be trusted to do right by the students. Now they’re predators seemingly being controlled by satanic forces.

When I hear stories like this I am glad I never had kids. Watching my sister worry about her four young grandchildren is difficult.

Their daughter attempted suicide on school property and the school didn't tell the parents. they waited until she tried it a second time before informing them.

All of the school leadership belong in jail for that, for VERY LONG sentences.

This is not merely a "political" issue. Getting them to stop is not enough. These are crimes against humanity that must be punished.

We need war crimes trails for public school teachers.
