The Minnesota Department of Education approved a “transgender toolkit” plan that allows male students who identify as women to use the girl’s bathroom, advises schools to refrain from assuming a student’s name or pronoun, and gives alternate titles to replace gender specific terms.

The ten-page report, A Toolkit for Ensuring Safe and Supportive Schools for Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Students, was created by a Minnesota School Safety Technical Assistance Council work group to “create school environments where transgender and gender nonconforming students are safe, supported and fully included, and have equal access to the educational opportunities provided to all students.”

The report begins by stating that “gender identity does not correlate with sexual orientation,” giving educators definitions of four gender terms and how to differentiate between them.

The report also advises educators to use a “Gender Spectrum's Student Gender Transition Plan” as a resource to help students and parents “actively discuss transition."

In addition, the report also states that, “during transition, diverse and unique needs may arise.”

That disclaimer is so embarrassingly stupid - as though the purpose of restrooms restricted to men or women is the equivalent of “whites only” establishments during the Jim Crow era.

Has the Minnesota Department of Education gone mad? Do they know their responsibility to teach the truth? Gender confusion is a treatable mental disorder.

Catering to those with clear mental disorders does NOT serve the mentally ill or the people the Department represents. It adds confusion to those already uncertain.

The Minnesota Department of Education appears to be counterproductive and destructive.

Where are all the “good” teachers that everyone seems to know that are protesting this? Hm?....( Crickets!)

Where are all the “good” teachers who claim to love their students so much? ....(Crickets!)

Remember! None of this could be implemented without the **willing** cooperation of a lot of very bad teachers.
