The Massachusetts Board of Education recently issued formal “guidance” to the state’s public schools, telling them how to implement new laws protecting against gender identity discrimination. The Board of Education insists that schools must not only provide equal access to educational activities programs but also proactively “create a culture” that would make gender-nonconforming and transgender kids “feel safe, supported, and fully included.”
The result? Transgender children must be allowed to use the restrooms and locker rooms of the opposite sex, if they so choose. Teachers will “work with” other students who object to the invasion of privacy, helping them over come their “discomfort” and embrace the agenda of tolerance. In addition, schools must “eliminate” gendered policies such as dress codes (e.g., rules requiring girls, but not boys, to wear dresses to prom, or traditions that dress boys in blue graduation robes while girls wear white) and classroom management strategies that divide children by gender (e.g., a boys’ line and a girls’ line for the water fountain). Transgender children will have the right to insist on being called by any name or pronoun they choose, regardless of its biological mismatch. And other students must go along with it or face “discipline.”

1840's Ireland. That really did look like the end times.
Yes,we have.
When I was a kid this s**t would not fly. Uh,uh.
Hrm? I teach for one - and we keep it pretty affordable compared with all the other schools out there!
Where do you live?
Yes, same here - we do a classical education as well, and we accept everyone, Catholic, not Catholic, but if you’re going to show up you’re going to get a Catholic education! No whining.
Catholics and nn Catholics, but no whining about the Catholic teaching, it’s a Catholic school.
They'll likely be able to get good academic scholarships because of the preparation from high school. Our older sons attended a very good Catholic High School, which was somewhat in the Classical tradition. Our oldest got a full ride at a State School, then went on to Law school. He was never really challenged by any of his higher education until his second year in Law School. He did very well.
Our #2 son attended Carnegie Mellon, and finished in 3 - 1/2 years, with Honors, and a double major in Computer Science and Psychology. He didn't get a scholarship, but got grants because we had another in college at the same time, even though we were never asked if the other kid was on scholarships. But with the #2 son it was the same thing regarding difficulty of the work; it was not much of a challenge for him. Their high school prepared them well.
Heard somethng about this but need specifics. Got a link? Is this the program invented and pushed by the guy that owns Proflowers? (Can’t think of his name -— Poelis or Soelis, gay congressman).
What’s wrong with people that they can’t accept the way they came into this world? They can’t accept the way nature made them. It is a perversion to mess with the sex you were given. I feel really sorry for them. They are as mixed up as the homosexuals.
My sense comes from my parents’ having been educated like this when they were in HS. They learned Greek, Latin, Literature, history and science and logic. They didn't focus on or put college above their HS learning.
I know kids today can do this, people don't change in that regard, though libs push the misconception of evolution to this extent. They are wrong; they certainly don't have proof, they don't present it.
Kids are starting to focus on jobs, having witnessed their older acquaintances struggling for money, jobs, college, debt and having no communication skills-no real education. It is not attractive.
My daughter's happy as a lark now and really cute in her uniform and I don't have to sweat the next round of idiocy forced on our public schools.
Western WA. We are more affordable than some private schools, but they considered them their competition for students instead of trying to bring in Catholic students from the public schools. Our personal school didn’t care whether they recruited in parish or even Catholic over non. This is a fact- I was involved behind the scenes and unsuccessful in changing things.

This should provide details necessary to evaluate the sex ed agenda in Colorado.

Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
And be watchful of your private and parochial schools. They are not perfect either.
I am sorry to hear that. We take everyone that we can fit in and try to hire additional staff as necessary to accommodate the growth.
That's really not the issue since I bet the majority of folks can't afford Catholic Schools at half the current rates. An extra $120 a week or better per child just isn't in the cards for people who don't have any disposible income to begin with.
Jeez, I wish they had that rule when I was in high school. Instead we had to sneak in or buy Playboy...
