When I was a public school teacher, I was once ushered into an auditorium with my colleagues to be trained in how to carry out a new policy in our school. But the focus was not on improving scores nor on remedying behavioral issues. We were to be trained in sensitivity to transgender students. We were told to accommodate one very small and narrowly defined disaggregate group whose interests intrinsically clash with many.
I am now the chief administrator of a private school, and I regularly speak to parents who are trying to make the best decisions for their children’s education. Most of these parents have no idea just how invasive transgender promotion is in their child’s classroom.
Look no further to this episode just two weeks after my public school "training session." One 8th grade boy arrived at school in high heels, a short skirt, open blouse, make-up, and women's jewelry. He demanded to use the girls' restroom. To avoid any type of response that could bring me under discipline, I simply walked away, convicted that I could not accommodate or support this type of behavior.
