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. ...
As a result of this particular "classroom lesson," Emer's daughter was petrified. For an 8-year-old accustomed to a child's world of Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny, the little girl had nightmares, ...

How do you think it turned out?
N0 wonder our children are having such rampages in school the teachers and staff are brainwashing them. Public schools cannot be entrusted with educating our children.
one wonders what kind of adults feels compelled to talk about variant sexuality to minor children.
Say, isn't Newton the Pittster's home town?
Barney Frank. Actually he is not as bad as the town PC zealots.
Just, freakin' DAMN them !!!
This could very well be the one incident in many children's lives that screw them up forever.
Why can't they just leave our kids alone??
Friggin' COWARDS !!
It does boggle the mind, but we must understand that these people want this to become the norm. It is extremely damaging to children.
This is Massachusetts? I guess she wouldn't get anywhere with a court case there, but I would try a civil case. I mean, it seems as if the child suffered damages.
To hell with the children! We have an AGENDA we need to get accomplished!
After all, it's ...errr ...FOR THE CHILDREN!
one wonders what kind of adult feels compelled to talk about variant deviant sexuality to minor children.
there! fixed it for you.
Time to pull the plug on public schools. They have been
infiltrated by brainwashed dimwits who live on the
public largresse. Time to go private all the way.
Yes, my children attend public schools - fortunately very good ones. But they are all the same in that respect. You have to be willing to keep shovel in hand to dig info out. Info that should clearly be available to you.
Newtown??? home of Mass??? home of constantly re-elected Kerry and Kennedy??? And this is a surprise???
Mass. scares me...and Im from NJ!!
I grew up in Newton MA more than a few years ago. It wasn't like this back in the 60's. But like I said that was a few years ago LOL. I guess many of us have become like Dana Carvey's Grumpy old man - we didn't have transvestite teachers - AND WE LOVED IT!
So, your kids attend "good" ones, whatever that means in this era of dumbed-down standardized tests.
Read the stoy again. This mother did not know BEFOREHAND what the school was going to do, and AFTERWARDS has to deal with the consequences.
You can dig all you want for the info, but when you only get it after the fact you are in fact powerless to protect your children.
Anyone who has kids in public school is asking for problems.
Why, Danny-boy's just as closely related to Truth as the Franklin Elementary is to decent education!
