Now THAT'S One Heck Of A Sex Ed. Class!
A New Jersey teacher, who taught for 5 years as Mr. McBeth, has re-applied and been accepted to teach as Ms. Lily McBeth. The 71-year old teacher is ready to resume work as an elementary school substitute teacher. McBeth had been a married for 33 years and had three children as a man.
Despite protests from wary parents, the Eagleswood Township school board voted 4-1 to allow McBeth to resume teaching starting on Monday, McBeth, repleate with shoulder-lenth blonde hair, lipstick, nail polish, a pink sweater and a two-piece pinstriped suit told a group of parents and the school board how 'she' loves to teach and looks foward to resuming work in the classroom.
Many parents were worried about how kids from kindergarten to grade six would understand a person changing their gender.
"I, as a parent, am appalled to have this issue brought into my child's psychology," said Steve Bond. He was worried that children would be confused by McBeth's appearance. 'She' dresses as a woman, and is now surgically altered, but has a deep voice and very masculine features.
"I will not allow you (the school board) to put my kids in a petri dish and hope it all turns out fine," said Mark Schnepp.
Oh, boy. (or not) I for one, think it is atrocious that k-6 age kids should have to be exposed to these very adult issues. Why, for the love of Mike, can't this man (And genetically, he is still a man, so I'm not going to call him a woman.) find something else to do? And why would you bother with gender re-assignment at such an elderly age?
There's NO WAY I would deal with having to explain this kind of train wreck to my small children!

Some things are just beyond the intellect of young children and attempts to present them with material they aren't mature enough to handle results in indoctrinization. And that is crossing a line.
From the family files:
I signed my oldest son up for part day preschool when he was 4 because he was lonely and his younger brothers, still in diapers, weren't much fun for him. I figured 6 hours a week would be good for him.
Then, at our on-post child care center (cdc) for "open house" I saw a display on families. Right there on the table was "the book" about different kinds of families....
So in the army, you aren't allowed to be openly gay (or participate in homosexual behavior) but the CDC can indoctrinate my 4 year old, by normalizing this "lifestyle".
That was the end of part day preschool.
