Education Secretary Betsy DeVos watched a transgender girl eat apple sauce and draw and listened to another student’s emotional story of feeling marginalized at school, as activists pressed DeVos to make good on her promise to protect all students.

Parents and activists who met with DeVos on Wednesday said they thought she was moved by their stories, but they still left with little hope that she would be a strong advocate for transgender children. […]

WTF is a “transgender family?” Has everyone in this family identified with the sex that they are not?
This madness has to stop. We are becoming a nation of idiots that fall for the latest crap made up by perverts and commies! End this NOW!

Put them in a Special Class like they did with Troublemakers when I was a Kid.

The admonishment was their behavior “disrupted” the Classroom. The same applies here.
