Students Who Refuse to Affirm Transgender Classmates Face Punishment

No doubt.

The best part is that the school cant even tell the parents. Little Johnny would suffer absolutely 0 repurcussions for this.

 

you mean, non-educators make a law thinking kids will just not abuse this policy with nothing but the honor system holding them in check? BWAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA


as with any law made FOR education by people who have never taught a class in their life is doomed to failure when rubber meets road

 

LOL - Whatever YOU say, dave...

 

LOL - I see an epidemic of Temporary Transgender Syndrome cases developing here...

 

It seems the syndrome is temporary already. I know of at least a couple transgenders who had themselves castrated and their dick chopped off, only to become incontinent, lack sexual drive or sensation...then later discovered they didn't want to change in the first place...

Oops... Too late. And medical doctors (society) helped them to this "cure"..

 

Its public

A slippery slope to what?

Schools should be fully provisioned for disabled children. If they have several floors then a lift should be installed.

What's with all the damn tranny threads recently? There's two a piece on the first page of two different sections of the forum. And neither section is the gay section.

 

It's because children are involved now Unifier. That's when non-gays need to hear about and talk about it until the kids are protected from the insanity trying to plant itself deep in their minds as "normal"..

 

thanks for the link

 

Of course, they should. But, like I said before, when you install a ramp, you don't tear out the stairs and make everyone use the ramp so the kid in the wheelchair doesn't feel bad.

It's a slippery slope to where it might lead to. It adds to the wussifing of America. Kids need to learn to deal with differences and the "different" kids need to learn to deal with a socieity which may or may not accept them. For example, they learned that mentally handicapped kids did better when mainstreamed. So, when integrated, they made accomidations, but didn't change the routine much of the other kids.

Look, I was teased in the 7th grade...badly. I wish I didn't have to go through it, but it is a part of me. As an adult, I can see how it added to my character (though, I'm sure you would beg to differ )

 

See, your trying to say a whole situation is unworkable because of very specific instances that can be dealt with on a case by case basis. Its like saying that Guns should be illegal because a few people use them to kill others, rather then creating a framework of laws to deal with those people who abuse it.

 

I would argue that homophobia and bigotry are not "normal" but instead that it's immoral for us to brainwash our children with our prejudice. Young children don't have homophobia or bigoted beliefs and they acquire these from their parents that are prejudiced often based upon bigoted religious beliefs.

 

There was a story in the news yesterday that while anacdotal exemplifies the problem.

http://gma.yahoo.com/transgender-triplet-banned-1st-grade-restroom-173907860--abc-news-health.html

So basically we have a very young child that has, from the earliest age, always reflected female characteristics while being born as a boy. To date there have been no problems because 6-year olds have not yet developed any prejudical social values but the school board does acknowledge that in the future the other children will become prejudicial in their social beliefs. We also know that the primary source of "social beliefs" comes from the parents that are the most influential individuals related to the development of social beliefs in the child.

The problem here isn't the children or of the one transgender child but instead the problem is the parents that are going to create prejudice in their children's social beliefs. Instead of the school district addressing the bigoted prejudice of the parents, which is the real problem, they choose to disenfranchise the transgender child from the public education system.

It would be my position that the school should be educating the parents related to the bigoted prejudice they're going to impart to their children on social issues as opposed to throwing this one transgender child under the bus by allowing this bigoted prejudice to dictate their actions which are actually harmful not just to the one transgender child but to all of the children attending the school.

By analogy I really see this as no different than expelling a single African-American child from a "white" school because of racial prejudice of the "white" parents that they are going to "teach" their children as the children grow up. Our schools should not be catering to bigoted prejudice of any kind.

 

yeah, sure.... if you're different, it's everyone else's problem, not yours.


how did appeasement work out for Churchill?

 

There goes Shiva again, chanting "homophobic and bigot" every time he finds himself in corner and can't rebut his way out using logic and lucid debate. What a shocker *yawn*..

Meanwhile..

It's worse than that Indymom. Because it's a mental disorder and normal children are being asked to play along as if it's normal, at their own mental peril, it's like asking all the kids at a school to amputate their own legs so the legless kid can feel like everybody else.. It's machiavellian..and they're going to get sued.

 

the original article already mentioned that they are going to get sued no matter what they do.... if they allow a "male" to play sports on a "girl" team, and a girl loses a starting spot to that boy.... sued

and since the pandora's box has now been opened, if a boy isn't allowed to try out for the girl's team when he says he "feels like a girl" then ACLU will sue the school

 

A whole lot more funner...but for sure they aint gonna be a whole lot more cleaner.

 

So what? Then pick the high ground and go with it expecting a lawsuit. That's why lawyers crawled out of the primevil slime, to do the bidding of their masters, even when it's counterintuitive to the swamp-values they were born from...lol...

And just in case readers here have completely lost touch with the high ground when kids are involved, it is the area where children are not forced to play along with delusions in other children that eventually lead to amputation of healthy body parts to complete the delusion.

I'd sit and wait, twiddling my thumbs until the ACLU springs that lawsuit and HIT THEM HARD with that angle. I'd go BIG, HUGE AND PUBLIC with that angle until the GLBT lobby was reeling and pulling back their bulldogs for fear of further exposure to deeper inroads to their dysfunction.

That's how I'd do it. If you're damned if you do, damned if you don't, err on the LARGE side of child-protection.... you can't go wrong...and you might even achieve some things you never thought you could..

 

Well if this keeps up...the boys are going to yell that this isn't right. There should be the open stalls making it easier for them no matter what restroom they are in. Their going to want them open stalls in both restrooms if this keeps up. You watch. They sure want to.

 

they don't CHANGE in individual stalls.....

 

While I find the idea entirely preposterous. If boys play football like normal, only the most retarded of girls will join the team.

Most girls would be ground into dust in a high school football team with males playing and practicing normally. Safety for their children will become more important that the magical equality they are supposedly getting. The crushing force of a 160 pound teenage boy vs. the dainty 135 pound girl is quite significant. Girly going to be gettin' a concussion at minimum. And I'm being modest with my weights here. The muscle to weight ratio is very different. A weak guy is still stronger than a strong girl on average.

230 pound male, vs 110 pound female? May as well buy her a plot at her graveyard of choice. She is dead meat. Unless they restrict male performance, females will get crippled, retarded, or killed.

Not to mention the inevitable orgy/gang rape in the locker room. A half baked policy to satiate the desires of the mentally disturbed.

No good will come of this, that I promise you.

 

girls can already play on male sports teams if they can make it. Not an issue. But boys are not allowed to play softball instead of baseball. Or go out for the girls basketball team after the boys season ends.


the way this becomes an issue is when a male being on the team benches a female.

Women libbers are about to be faced with a moral dilemma.... do they support women's rights and title IX or do they support transgender rights. What's a liberal to do?

 

And maybe no end to GROWING.

 

Trannys can't be accommodated because straight boys will try abuse the rules.

Its the same as saying

Guns can't be accommodated because some owners will try to abuse the rules.
