MOUNT HOREB, Wis. - A southern Wisconsin elementary school cancelled a planned reading of a children's book about a transgender girl after a group threatened to sue.

The Mount Horeb Area School District released a statement Wednesday saying it will not proceed with its planned reading of the book "I am Jazz," the Capital Times reported. The district said it would give the Board of Education the opportunity to address a situation, for which the district has no current policy.

Is this the same kid whose mom is in full support of him? I think I remember that show when it came on TLC.

Agree. With the exception ception of a few people born with both, you have an innie or an outtie. All the rest is mental illness.

Time our side started lawsuits...

Absolutely. This is what the ACLU has been doing for years to prevent schools from allowing any type of Christmas display, a prayer before a football game, etc. The school district usually goes along with what the ACLU wants not because they agree with them, but because they don't have the financial resources to fight the lawsuit. It's time we started using the same tactic.

Any pervert trying to destroy the understanding of male and female (and self) of a child is pure evil, like the author of this “book”.

Anyone promoting such a mutilating, vile behavior and warping the perceptions of self and others should be hanged-—or as Jesus put it—have a millstone hung around their neck and tossed into the sea.

To destroy Reality/Truth/God in the minds of children by putting vile concepts into their little minds is beyond SICK-—it is EVIL.

The evil ideas we have allowed to be programmed into the heads and eyes of little children is diabolical.......it is like we are living in the pagan irrational world of Nero with his plays of castrating boys and homosexual orgies.

These people are mentally ill—and abused as children with a very sick mind and warped “reality”—and we allow them to “teach” vulnerable children. Parents need to take back the minds of their children and do their duty and educate their own children-—with Truth.

I’ve not seen the show, but that sounds likely. Just from the activism this kid has been involved in at such a young age, it’s hard to imagine his parents not being a big supporter of his actions.

Dealing with this with my daughter now. She is 12 and even though we are homeschoolers, she still has various friends and cousins that go to public school, and of course with everything in the media nowadays, the gay agenda is everywhere. We don’t allow her to have any social media on the computer, but that hasn’t stopped her from seeing things online and on TV. Almost all shows have a gay or transgender character, etc. She has been spouting off a bunch of “tolerant” nonsense and “you can’t help who you love or if you feel like you should have been born another gender” etc. We are Christians, go to church, homeschool, etc. and this is still something we are having to deal with. I know part of it is that she is 12 and is going through a little rebellious stage, and I have been trying not to make a huge deal about it, but I have gotten upset lately and told her I don’t understand her turning her back on our family’s values. I am praying hard that we don’t lose her to this culture.

"We believe all students deserve respect and support regardless of their gender identity and expression, and the best way to foster that respect and support is through educating students about the issue of being transgender," the letter said.

The best way to show that girl "respect and support" would be to send her to a psychiatrist.

Perhaps someone should take a sap to his head for each word as they explain that "supporting" the oddities of nature (and liberalism) cannot be accomplished by denigrating the normal children - which is exactly what they are doing.

If one is straight and recognizes the difference between the 2 sexes, one is branded a sexist pig and a homo/bi/tranny/lezbo/etc-etc-etc-phobe.

if one is White, they are ostracized as being privileged/a disease/racist/hater/misanthropic.

It's obvious they are trying to marginalize normal well balanced folks and make the sickness seem like the norm.

You can think that if you like, but the substitution of “gender” for “sex” has been perpetrated intentionally to obscure the fact that (with extremely rare exceptions of genetic damage) human beings come in two, immutable, sexes.

Socially, fish have no gender. Linguistically, they are neuter in English, masculine in Spanish, and who-knows-what in languages that have “genders” (distinct morphologies of nouns/adjectives) for things like “animals we can eat” or “cynlindrically-shaped articles.”

Same here ... and they are impervious to reason. “Everything you say makes sense,” is my 17-year-old’s perspective, “But ... my feeeeeeeelingggggs!!!”

it’s highly unlikely that the average Joe using ‘gender’ rather than ‘sex’ is doing so with the intent of participating in some devious sociolinguistic plot...

Of course not: he just doesn't know any better.

Most people referring to this Jazz person as "she" don't know any better, either. They're just going along, accepting the feminine "gender" because he has long hair and wears makeup, and ignoring the fact that his sex is immutably male.

There is no such thing as transgender.

No, only crazy.
