Uhhh. I have no idea where to even start on this one.

"We had to ask ourselves, what is gender for young children?"

O...M...G....

While many of those schools were in California, the state is not alone. In a highly publicized case, a couple convinced the Broward County school system in Florida this year to admit their son to kindergarten as a girl.

He's reportedly the youngest transgender child admitted to a South Florida school, but the Broward and Miami-Dade County school systems were ready with pre-existing policies to accommodate such students.

Ok...now exactly who got to make this "choice"?

"And there's a unisex bathroom."

And there's a unisex bathroom.

This can lead to nothing good!

"gender fluid"?

I guess they want to dress little boys like girls for their whole elementary school experience and see if they still want to grow up to be male? Is this "teacher" from another planet?

Parents are paying up to 18k a year to send their children to hear this type of claptrap.

Teachers are doing it and getting aways with it legally; the kids will follow suit.

Many kids want to look and act like the other sex...

Not in my neighborhood.

I love this crap. It grows the GOP and the school voucher movement. No wonder the Islamofacists despise us.

Where's the Barf Alert?

Doesn't surprise me though that this is coming out of the San Francisco area.

Two comments. First, I'm still amazed that Leftists can, on the one hand, say that these confused little kids are born the way they are and can't and shouldn't be changed but, on the other hand, want to say that little boys and little girls who are normal can be "gender" engineered to be sex-neutral and that stereotypical sexual behavior is not inborn. Either stereotypical sexual behavior can be inborn or it can't. You can't have it one way for normal kids and the other way for abnormal kids.

Second, I'm curious that since this cluster seems to be happening in a very gay-friendly area if a disproportionate number of those kids come from gay families. Again, if you can be born gay, it would make some sense that kids of gay parents (generally lesbians) are themselves confused about their sex.

Is "gender fluid" what they find in the unisex bathroom?

BARF!

Are you f%$@#&g kidding me? Only to a twisted militant gay fascist. What a pitifully transparent agenda.

[leda]

i'm wondering how many kids, who do identify with their biological gender,
will be confused by this...

and unisex bathrooms! good grief! that's just asking for trouble.

[Uncle Hal]

I have a cousin whose 6 year old son wants to wear dresses, play with girls not boys, play with female dolls and in general appears to act more like a girl than a boy. The family talks about it but the parents seem to ignore it. I am very skeptical that people are born gay. But this makes you think. Hopefully he will grow out of it.

I met a sickening excuse of a woman about 10 years ago. She was a teachers teacher. She told me things that were to strange to believe.
And hear it is in black and white.
