IDENTITY: Protect all children

Area school administrators in Idaho recently learned about the following suggestions: based on one case (from last month), a boy “transitioning” to girl should be able to use the girls’ locker room so long as “privacy curtains” for all students are installed.

Boys on girls’ teams? Boy “must complete one year of hormone treatment” and cannot thereafter change back; girl-to-boy taking “hormone treatment under a physician’s care” can participate only on a boys’ team.

(From: “Principal Law Seminars-LGBT Issues In The Educational Setting”, pages 13 and 30)

What about school overnight trips? I found no mention of this obvious question (unless this information was conveyed only by word-of-mouth).

Who wrote these suggestions? Our elected representatives? Our senators? Governor? State superintendent of education? If not, who?

Here the sexual confusion of an unstable teenager is given binding legal status, and we have the scenario of a physician’s hormonal treatment of minor children — chemical castration — passed over in silent acquiescence.

How long will a free people stand by, hands slack, muzzle on snout, as computer-desk dictators in Boise or Washington issue such indecent directives?

When school staff pressure a girl to share locker room and shower facilities with teen-aged boys, or insist that they share motel rooms, what are responsible parents to do? Well, there is one thing that suggests itself: Bring charges of corruption of minor children against any school or related agency that promotes such indecent guidelines.

Suspend all physical education, sports and overnight activities unless and until school administrators will assure us that they will protect the privacy and modesty of the children under their care.
