Teacher to return after having sex change

EAGLESWOOD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - To students at Eagleswood Elementary School, she used to be Mr. McBeth. Now, after undergoing a sex change, 71-year-old Lily McBeth is ready to return to teaching as Miss McBeth.

Despite criticism from parents, the school board on Monday stood by its decision to allow McBeth to resume working as a substitute teacher.

After two hours of public debate and a private meeting with McBeth and her lawyer, the board took no action on calls by several parents to bar McBeth from returning to the school where she taught for five years before becoming a woman.

"It was magnificent," McBeth said afterward. "You saw democracy in action."

McBeth, a retired sales executive who was married for 33 years and had three children, underwent gender reassignment surgery last year and re-applied for her job under her new name.

McBeth on Monday told the school board and the crowd that she loves teaching and children, and looks forward to returning to the classroom.

..........

Several parents said children in the school - which consists of kindergarten through sixth grade - were not old enough to understand the concept of changing one's gender.

"I, as a parent, am appalled to have this issue brought into my child's psychology," Steve Bond said.

Vincent Mustacchio predicted "chaos" at the school when the students learned of McBeth's surgery.

Young children will be confused by the conflicting appearance of McBeth, who has a deep voice and masculine features but otherwise looks like a woman, other parents said.

"I will not allow you to put my kids in a petri dish and hope it all turns out fine," said Mark Schnepp, who had taken out an ad in a local newspaper urging parents to turn out for the meeting.

"...underwent gender reassignment surgery last year and re-applied for her job under her new name."

No, he simply returned after changing his name. Sewing stuff on to people or cutting things off of people does not change their gender. The citizens that allow the leftists to intentionally make the Public School a freak show are to blame here. Sounds like the School administration needs an enema.

Oh, my....

BTW..does anyone know if substitute teachers in this school district get medical benefits? I'd suspect that they do, and that's why he/she took the job a few years ago..to get covered for this...I'd wager the school district's medical plan paid the whole shebang..which has to have cost several hundred thousand $$$$$..

Exactly, what the hell is "gender reassignment".

It is what we are expected to call a FREAK.

In a pink turtleneck and black pinstripe pants suit, wearing a cross necklace, gold hoop earrings and looking somewhat uncomfortable, McBeth briefly answered reporters' questions and said she would never talk to children about sexuality at school.

"Miss MacBeth". Methinks there's something rotten in Eagleswood.

It's the exact same type of euphemism that changed homosexual to "gay."

Hopefully, more and more of this will be publicly "outed," so that less and less parents will want their children to be raised, for that is what the schools do in part, by kooks and freaks.

Some things are so sick, that one is tempted to simply lock it up so we can have time to adjust and figure out just WHAT THE HE!! is going through this weirdo's mind. How much more perverse could a teacher become? (For God's sake, it's rhetorical.... i don;t really want to know or even think about it...)

Uh, doesn't he/she think they're going to notice? Kids may be young, but they aren't stupid!

Yes! It's time to abandon the sinking ship known as the government school.

Could be ...

BARF ALERT

"In July 2001, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey determined that denying employment to a transgender person amounts to sexual discrimination. The court determined that the hospital, West Jersey Health Systems, violated the law when it fired a transgender employee.

"You can't discriminate against a man for not living up to the stereotype of what a man is supposed to be," said Ed Barocas, legal director for the ACLU of New Jersey.

Deborah Jacobs, executive director of ACLU of New Jersey, said while the issue is settled law, more explicit language is needed in the state's Law Against Discrimination. Clearer language will give better direction to businesses or small town governments unfamiliar with case law, she said.

McBeth said she was never a full-time teacher, but that she began working as a substitute nine years ago after retiring from a career as a medical marketing executive.

Working first in Pennsylvania, she began substitute teaching in this area about five years ago after moving to Little Egg, and has worked in the Pinelands Regional and Little Egg Harbor school systems as well as Eagleswood.

I don't think, from the picture, that there is much chance of a similar situation not being 'outed'.

This leads me to consider that there might actually exist some people who could have their left arm amputated and sewn onto their right thigh an be delighted in the outcome of their effort.
