Choose Your Sex: Transgenderism at US Schools - and Coming to a School Near You
Transgenderism is being addressed in American schools from elementary to university level. What was once an anomaly is becoming normalized with the help of compliant courts, governmental entities, complicit politicians, and spearheading organizations.
A male lst grader at the Fountain-Fort Carson School district
in Colorado will not be allowed to use the girls'
bathroom.The young boy wears dresses to school and "selfidentifies"
as a girl. Although his state-issued ID and passport
list him as a female, he is biologically a male. The
school offered the child use of the gender-neutral faculty
bathroom, the nurse's bathroom or the boys' bathroom.
The Colorado school district claims their decision was
made out of consideration for the comfort of female students
who would not like a male in their bathroom. His
parents have contacted the State of Colorado Civil Rights
Division; the boy will be homeschooled until the case is
resolved to their liking. This is expected to end up in court.
An eleven-page directive issued by the Massachusetts
Department of Education (DOE) in February 2011 allows
boys and girls who identify with a sex differing from their
own physiology to use the bathroom and locker room in
which they feel more comfortable. The DOE is responding
to state law that added "gender identity" to the non-discrimination
code.
All Massachusetts schools are now required to accept the sex a student chooses as his or her own, regardless of biology, and allows bathroom and locker room access accordingly. Critics of the DOE edict argue that the new law did not require such a broad directive from the education department, but that the result is what can be expected when states add gender identity to state non-discrimination policies. From August 2013 Brown University student health insurance will begin covering sex change insurance for those students who want it. According to the Campus Director of Insurance and Purchasing Services, "the total package of sexual reassignment surgeries, hormone therapy and other services can cost up to $50,000." (National Review, 7/2/13).
The University of Iowa is the first public college to offer a transgender check box, along with those of male and female on its application for admission. An additional application question is: "Do you identify with the LGBTQ [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer] Community?" The University of Iowa executive director of admissions said: "The new LGBT question on our undergraduate application reflects our fundamental commitment to an inclusion of all students, no matter what their origin or orientation". The February 2013 conference, University of California- Riverside, called "20 years of LGBT Progress", celebrated the movement to normalize and promulgate these lifestyles. There are LGBT centres at most University of California (UC)campuses and over 20 different LGBTQ organizations on the UC Los Angeles campus, alone. (TheCollegeFix.com)
