Minnesota Public Schools To Segregate Students Who Object To Transgender Guidelines

Minnesota’s Department of Education has released an advisory to all K-12 schools to “segregate” students who raise objections to the state’s new mandate for transgender locker rooms and bathrooms. 
Earlier this month, state officials approved of a new gender toolkit titled “Safe and Supportive Schools for Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Students” aimed at making “non-binary” and transgender students feel welcome from kindergarten through 12th grade. 
The toolkit also calls for segregating students concerned with their privacy away from transgender students so it “does not result in stigmatizing the transgender or gender nonconforming student.” 
According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, the toolkit isn’t mandatory, and is subject to change in the future, but schools are advised to follow it anyway. 
At present, the toolkit will not prevent a male student from stepping into the girl’s locker room while claiming to be transgender. 
Instead, female students who object to the intrusion will be “segregated” so the male student does not feel stigmatized. 
Furthermore, schools are instructed to provide transgender students the privilege of choosing their own preferred gender pronouns, and staff are not merely encouraged, but advised to oblige their demands. 
Teachers who fail to address these students by their chosen pronouns are warned that they could be in violation of federal law. 
“Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of students,” the toolkit advises. “Schools should note that neither a student’s gender nor pronouns are considered public or directory information. Casual use of a student’s incorrect pronoun or incorrect name may violate FERPA.”

    ===>WHEREFORE, Mr. Awan respectfully requests that this honorable Court modify the conditions of release in this case to allow Mr. Awan to change is address to that of his brother. Given the simle nature of the request, and the fact that the request is unopposed, the defense believes there is no need to for a court appearance or argument on the matter."<===

  2. female students who object to the intrusion will be “segregated” so the male student does not feel stigmatized

    The mentally sane are the ones who should feel stigmatized?

    Inversionism.

    Time to burn down the public schools system.

  4. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed.

    The goal!

  5. You are not stigmatized by your own schwantz. You are stigmatized by the fact that your schwantz means that you are necessarily a man.
