Dept of Education to Schools: Let Students Choose if They Are Boy or Girl, Even for Sex Ed Classes
Christian Post ^ | 12/12/2014 | Napp Nazworth

In single-sex classes, which are common for sex education, students must be allowed to go to the class of the gender they consider themselves to be rather than their actual gender, the U.S. Department of Education directed schools that receive federal funds in a Dec. 1 memo.

The memo, from the department's Office for Civil Rights, provides guidance for K-12 schools for when they are allowed to have same-sex classes or extracurricular activities and remain in compliance with Title IX, a 1972 law to protect against gender discrimination in education programs that get federal aid.

Schools may divide students by gender, the memo says, if the course or extracurricular activity is a contact sport or deals with human sexuality. Vocational classes are not allowed to be gender-specific.

Near the end of the document, a paragraph explains how schools must treat male students who consider themselves female and female students who consider themselves male.

"All students, including transgender students and students who do not conform to sex stereotypes," it states, "are protected from sex-based discrimination under Title IX. Under Title IX, a recipient generally must treat transgender students consistent with their gender identity in all aspects of the planning, implementation, enrollment, operation, and evaluation of single-sex classes."

Private religious schools do not appear to be affected by the memo. Another part of the memo clarifies that the requirement applies to all public schools and the few private schools that receive some federal aid.

Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education has previously demonstrated a willingness to grant exemptions to religious institutions in regard to accommodating transgender students.

In July, the Education Department granted a religious exemption from Title IX to George Fox University after a female to male transgender student, Jayce Marcus, filed a complaint after she was not allowed to reside in the male dorms.

Clearly they are dumbing down students then. Failing basic biology.

Yet the Left insists it is the Christian fundamentalists who wage a war on science.

Yes, because males with gender identity issues really need to learn about their non-existent menstrual cycle.

Stan: It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg: But you can’t have babies.
Stan: Don’t you oppress me.
Reg: Where’s the fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?

Catholic schools ALWAYS have a "plan" for those families who can't afford the Catholic education. I know because my family was on one of those "plans." By the time we got to high school my parents COULD afford private schools but those first years were tough.

In those early years I remember having flapping shoe soles on my uniform shoes because we couldn't afford the shoe maker.

There must be many cross dressers in Hollywood and DC.

DC itself is a very hedonistic town.

Excellent point. Males with these issues don’t menstruate or deal with other female specific issues. Yet we now have to pretend that they do, because we have to bend over backwards to prove how liberal we are, to appease the LGBT peoples.

And females who claim to be male are going to learn about experiencing erections and other male specific matters. Amazingly stupid world we live in.

I think this is a good idea. Instead of the slow march we’ve been on let’s just let the kids decide and sit back. It should only take about a month before chaos sets in and there is total anarchy in any school that tries this. The pubescent boys will figure out to sign up in all the female classes, the girls will hate it, they’ll complain to parents, parents will storm school board meetings, all hell will break loose.

I’m all for feeding these commie ideas to the populous as fast as possible now, until they get a bellyful. Trying to convince people about the right thing isn’t working. Force all this social engineering crap on them all at once and see how fast things turn around, sheesh.

In my junior year of high school we had our choice of two electives: Wood shop and ‘Understanding Little Kids’. There were no restrictions on gender so I took wood shop and was the only girl in the class.

Lucky me. (-:

So they are allowed to CHOOSE their gender for sex class.

Are they allowed to CHOOSE if they or their parents want them to attend Sex class in the first place.

Funny how that CHOICE thing works.

People are too afraid.

They look at the media and see no one standing up, or if they do, they are raked over the coals. People are losing friends, family, and sometimes their jobs if they say the “wrong” thing.

What most people dont realize is that most people are not on the same side as the freaks. It’s just all avenues of connection are blocked by the PC/SJW/LGBTQ secret police.

How about we start with: 'School kids can choose what they want to eat for lunch?'....
