Mountain: Nightmare at Franklin By Tom Mountain/ Our Turn Wednesday, November 8, 2006
Emer O'Shea knew something was wrong the minute she picked up her daughter from Franklin Elementary School. The third-grader was normally very perky upon seeing her mother and new baby sister, but this time she glanced at her mother without indicating what was wrong, except to say that the school's social worker had visited the class. But Emer soon heard from another parent about what had happened in her daughter's class that day, and she was both stunned and mortified. The next day her young daughter finally opened up with a question that would baffle most parents of an 8-year-old child, "Mommy, is it possible for a man to have an operation to become a woman?"
Transgenders and transvestites. These were the topics that a staff member at Franklin School in West Newton chose to teach to a class of third-grade children. The school's social worker described to the children that some men like to dress up as women, and yes, some men even have operations to change into women.
The opportunity for this "teachable moment" - the kind that Superintendent Jeff Young likes to portray as merely responding to some child's "random questioning"- occurred when the social worker was describing various families outside of the traditional mommy-and-daddy norm and showed the class a picture of a woman with two children, asking what they saw in the picture. A child then raised his hand to tell her (are you sitting sit down for this?) that he thought the picture was of a man who had a sex change operation and was now a woman. Apparently, the child's own father was undergoing such an operation (which he/she has since completed).

I would sue these b------'s
That's what Parker is doing.
Homeschool or parochial school. No public pervert indoctrination for our kids!
Am I correct in assuming that this is in Massachusettes? Why any clear thinking folks continue to live in that state is beyond me!
Is this school in Bwarney Fwanks district?
It's worse than criminal - it's a monumental sorrow. Who can make restitution for a stolen childhood?
That would be my guess.
Massachussetts no longer the Bay state but the Gay state.
Repeat that phrase over and over, your head will spin.
This is what is being taught to the kids in the USA whereas Muslim kids are being taught to grow up to be suicide bombers and kill the infidels.
I think so. Is Newton his district?
I read stuff like this and thank my lucky stars that my sons are done with lower education. It's just going to get worse now.
Isn't Liberalisn wonderful? This is one of the most dispicable things I have ever heard. Welcome to San Francisco values.
My six-year-old daughter once saw a man dressed as a woman. She pointed and said, "Look at that person!" My husband's response to our daughter, "That person is really confused and unhappy." My daughter has never seen this person again, thank goodness.
No I think you are NORMAL. I saw a man with big hairy hands dressed as a woman once in a mall.
It is terrible that the school did this to the kid. Since it happened, I would tell my son that some people are very crazy and mutilate their bodies. Some people cut or starve themselves and some really sick people even cut off their arms and legs. Some people are so crazy, they kill themselves.
The crazy man your teacher was talking about cut off his penis and now likes to pretend he is a woman. Poor guy hates himself. Luckily, there are not too many nutty people like this in the world. We pity people with these kind of mental and spiritual problems. Let me know if any crazy people bother you at school.
At 6 my daughter (now 34) was so outspoken, she would have walked up to him and demanded to know why he dressed wrong.
