California To Free Children From Their Anatomy
Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2013 6:17 pm
Along with decisions about what to eat for lunch and which clubs to join, California public school students may soon may be allowed to choose which gender they would like to be.
The California legislature has passed a bill, AB 1266, that would require all public schools to allow youths to choose which gender-segregated facilities and activities fit their “identity,” including restrooms, locker rooms and sports teams. The bill awaits the signature of Gov. Jerry Brown to be enacted into law.

But allowing students to choose their gender, whether 6 or 17, is a new one, even for California.
Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute said the law is in direct violation of the principle of protecting children. He says it is all about appeasing the vocal and powerful LGBT lobby.
Jack Watts, a Christian author and culture critic, agrees.
“The real war is not on women, but on men, particularly young boys,” he said. “By purposefully obscuring the lines of their male identity, we will be creating a nation of sexually confused men who will be unable to sustain a male-female relationship. The only winners will be divorce lawyers.”

Leon O’Dell is one of those former California residents. He said the bill only validates his decision to have left the state years ago.
“This entire sick scenario makes me glad I left my home state. I have no desire to return there. California is the laughing stock and an embarrassment,” he said.
Jim Bellano, a former assistant professor of political science at Western University, said that the California Legislature has “redefined the ‘ABC’s’ and the ’3 R’s’ of education to ‘LGBT.’”
“Will the signs on the bathrooms and locker rooms be replaced with rip-a-way daily calendars?”
Matthew McReynolds, an attorney for Pacific Justice Foundation, tried to fight the bill. He said the legislation completely disregards the privacy of the students who are not transgender or “gender-questioning.”
He argued that “these students (and their parents) have reasonable expectations that they will not be forced to share intimate spaces with members of the opposite biological and anatomical gender.”
McReynolds contends that “there are no safeguards whatsoever in the legislation that would allow responsible adults, including coaches, teachers, chaperones, school administrators and others to act in the best interests of all students.”
“Even the most liberal politician should see that allowing boys and girls as young as 5, or as astute as 17, to be able to pick and choose which gender’s bathroom to use is outrageous.”
Some found the legislation so absurd that they could only laugh at it.
Nick Kasoff, a political analyst from St. Louis, Mo., referenced “sexting” New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner: “The big question is, will Carlos Danger move to California and try to pass as a high school student?”
Clarence Walls considers himself a political observer, and he had this observation of the California legislation: “Stupidity, like morality, has no gender.”
