“The transgender girl has the right to be whatever she wants but just because she has the right doesn’t mean we’re not obliged to follow her beliefs,” Rohde said.
It’s amazing how one word can turn a thought into gobbledy-gook.

I can see where this comes from.

The transgender girl has the right to be whatever she wants but just because she has the right doesnt mean were not obliged to follow her beliefs, Rohde said.That is to say, she's allowed to say that she is male, but we aren't obligated to pretend that's true.

First, I echo your cheers for Mr. Vlaming.
Second, I’m glad this is West Point, VA. I’m glad this isn’t (yet) an issue at the more famous West Point.

I had the same issue with a female to male student several years ago. I just called the person in question by their last name. Any pronouns were also their last name.
I was told it was unnatural to do so. I simply smiled and asked, “Unnatural?”
They left me alone after that.

The student is mentally ill and should seek professional help.

I'd like to see this go to the Supreme Court.
The question being can the government compel an individual to say something they don't believe to be true.

The teacher sounds like a fan of Jordan Peterson.

The pronoun “freak” works for me.

At least in Canada they explicitly created and passed a law (C-16) violating their citizens' rights to free speech and requiring them to use incorrect pronouns.
Here in the United States they don't even have to pass a law to destroy peoples' careers.

Exactly! The emperor has no clothes! Why does society have to cater to the whims of a mentally ill person?

The school board scheduled the public hearing for Dec. 6 at 3 p.m. at West Point High School.Every single person who supports Mr. Vlaming had better be there. That's the only way he'll get a fair shake.

This is exactly what free speech means. This is a government punishing a man for what he said.
