Public school students in Massachusetts can now use either the boys or girls bathroom depending on which gender they feel they are that day. Yeah, that means your daughters in public school may be forced to share bathrooms and locker rooms with boys whether they like it or not.
And not only that, students have to affirm that this is cool or face punishments. That’s in order to be inclusive. Seriously. You’ve got to read this part of the Fox News story:
Another part of the directive that troubles parents deals with students who might feel comfortable having someone of the opposite sex in their locker room or bathroom.
The state takes those students to task – noting their discomfort “is not a reason to deny access to the transgender student.”
And any student who refuses to refer to a transgendered student by the name or sex they identify with could face punishment.
For example – a fifth grade girl might feel uncomfortable using the restroom if there is an eighth grade transgendered boy in the next stall.
Under the state guidelines, the girl would have no recourse, Beckwith said.
“And if the girl continued to complain she could be subjected to discipline for not affirming that student’s gender identity choice,” he told Fox News.
“It should not be tolerated and can be grounds for student discipline,” the directive states.
Gunner Scott, of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition, praised the directive – and said punishing students who refuse to acknowledge a student’s gender identity is appropriate because it amounts to bullying.
“The reality is that it’s about creating an inclusive environment for all students to learn,” Scott said.
To not accept liberal indoctrination is bullying and you will be punished.
