James Ehrhard: Make way for transgender high school

On July 1, 2012, a law went into effect in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts titled "An Act Relative to Gender Identity." The law added the term "gender identity" to the state's antidiscrimination statute, joining far better known terms like "race," "religion," "sex" and "national origin." The statute now also applies to "gender-related identity, appearance or behavior, whether or not that gender-related identity, appearance, or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with the person's physiology or assigned sex at birth." The common term these days is "transgender." .... It is a given that nearly all teenage girls will feel deeply uncomfortable having an anatomical male of any sort using the same bathroom or locker-room shower. That is the reality of human life, and no young woman should be forced to endure such embarrassment.

The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.

The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.

It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is collectivist.

Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.

If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.

Nobody loves your children more than you do.

Nobody can teach your children better than you can.

Nobody knows your children better than you do.

Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.

It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.

If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.

DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!

Especially not with your own children.

And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!

He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement program.

What the hell is an “anatomical male?” Why can’t they say “woman with a grafted penis?”

What the hell is an “anatomical female?” A man who had his penis chopped off? What if he loses it in an accident? Then he’s not an “anatomical female.” It’s only if you chop it off and go around in a dress and lipstick.

This is not the world I lived in 50 years ago.

Reality is still the same.

It's just that nowadays, with the cost of media bandwidth so low, every nutcase gets to try living life on stage in front of millions of people.

The village exhibitionist is just able to use electronics to do he or she used to do (on the town square or in front of the school) before a world-wide audience.

I remember hearing a children’s writer criticize public schools as a “Victorian relic” that has to do more with keeping kids off of the streets than anything, and that putting together a bunch of kids whose only commonality was age was absurd.

All of which is true, and he didn’t even bring up the blatant propagandizing since that’s what his books were about, educative history that isn’t slanted and actually connects.
