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.

Sex change at 70?
That seems ridiculous in and of itself, not to mention the rest.

Is that really her? It still looks like a man to me. I feel sorry for people caught up in that though.....while we're still a fetus...we are ALL women at one point. Then some turn into men. Sometimes things get messed up in there before we're born.....and come out with confused genders. Didn't anyone watch that episode of "HOUSE" last week? Jeez.

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.It's a target-rich environment.

This guy is mentally sick. Unbelievable.

He is still a male, regardless of how he tries to disguise it.
I would never change my sex. However, I have considered species reassignment surgery. My surgeon says this is what I would look like as a cat:

The main message here is that, yet again, the parents have no say in what their children are exposed to in the public school setting.
Here is an old idea that could be dusted off and used to teach our ignorant and uneducated children: NO SEX IN SCHOOL. Kids can find all the perverse sex indoctrination they need on cable TV. Parents who bemoan the state of public schools have no problem whatsoever with the filth that pours into their homes via the idiot box.

This is just digusting. Besides, at 71, why bother?

Exactly, what the hell is "gender reassignment".Perhaps someone got a clue that a "sex change" is impossible.
Or this is just another attmept to make perversion acceptable. Like using the word "gay" instead of homosexual.
