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.

Come on man, what better way to teach cultures diversity?
Put a sick freak show as a teacher for the kids to be confused by.
Bet as a parent you cannot have your childs class changed.
Exterminate with prrejudice.

Is 71 yrs old a bit old to be teaching? I cant remember having any teachers that old before. I dont understand why he/she would want to go back to school where there will be questions and where some parents are not happy with he/she being there.

About thirty years ago we had a male teacher become a woman teacher in our town.

Lots of media attention, but she/he remained in the school system for a few more years with little disruption to the students.

Figured it was Registered's handiwork.

Don't know how I missed it.

Guess it "slipped through the cracks". (So to speak.)

With his fancy new...whatever.

IIRC, Mr. Garrison called it his "snooch"?

He is still a male, regardless of how he tries to disguise it. Cross-dressing, even surgically enhanced cross-dressing, is still just make-believe: it does not actually change one's sex.

Did it manage to get its teaching certificate changed as well? How about its degree? It certainly doesn't have any experience, how can it get a job? I don't get it...
