Watch carefully America because you know the Democrats in Congress and President Obama would like to see this as a national policy. Democrats have a super majority here in California so nothing can stop their crazed social experimentation on our schools. Soon school may be required to let boys use the girls bathrooms and vice versa. Also, girls may be allowed to play football or other boy sports teams. From the LA Times:
Schools would have to allow transgender students to participate on sports teams and use bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity, not their sex, under a measure passed by the California Assembly on Thursday.
Advocates said the bill would prevent transgender students from feeling ostracized at school and help them fully participate in sports and other activities.
“It’s about ensuring transgender students, just like all students, have a fair chance to be themselves and succeed at school,” said Melissa Goodman, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California.
No Republicans voted for the bill, AB 1266, which goes to the state Senate for further consideration.
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), the bill’s author, said it would help strengthen laws that already ban discrimination against people who are transgender.
He cited the case of Eli Erlick, a high school student in Mendocino County who was born male but identifies as female. He said Erlick was prohibited from participating in girls’ gym classes while in middle school and noted that Erlick’s parents testified in favor of the bill.
“There is a move toward acceptance and understanding while some people are still running in place,” Ammiano said.
He acknowledged that parents may be uncomfortable about their children sharing bathrooms with students of a different sex, but he said, “It’s also important to protect our children from prejudice.”
Circling the drain.
