Heritage Foundation: Six Men Disguised Themselves as Women to Access Bathrooms

Transgender, ,

Fallout continues from the Obama Administration’s “guidelines” last month instructing schools and universities to let biological males who claim to be female use the girls’ restrooms, locker rooms, and similar facilities–and vice versa.

Our friends at the Heritage Foundation have written a column highlighting six different instances in which men disguised themselves as women in order to access women’s restrooms.

The Daily Signal writes,

The risk to the privacy and safety of women and girls is real. There have been numerous cases in recent years of men either cross-dressing or claiming to be transgender in order to access women’s bathrooms and locker rooms for inappropriate purposes.

The simple fact of the matter is we must protect children from people who would abuse laws and policies like the Obama Administration’s May 13 “guidelines.” We cannot place the interests and desires of adults over the privacy and safety of children.

WA Schools to Teach Gender Identity Curriculum to Kindergarteners

3 CommentsTransgender

Starting in 2017, public schools in Washington State will have to teach children about gender identity beginning in kindergarten.

Our friends at the Family Policy Institute of Washington write,

The newly-minted health and physical education standards, released by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), will be implemented in schools across the state for the 2017-2018 school year.

As reported by The Daily Caller, the new standards require students to learn about gender identity and expression beginning in kindergarten.

  • Beginning in Kindergarten, students will be taught about the many ways to express gender.  Gender expression education will include information about the manifestations of traits that are typically associated with one gender. Crossdressing is one form of gender expression.
  • Third graders will be introduced to the concept of gender identity.  These children will be taught that they can choose their own gender.
  • Fourth graders will be expected to “define sexual orientation,” which refers to whether a person identifies as heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual; they’ll also be taught about HIV prevention.  Children in fourth grade will be told that they can choose their sexual orientation.
  • Fourth and fifth graders will learn about the relativity of gender roles and why such roles are social constructs that are not inherent to who we are as male or female human beings.
  • Seventh graders will be expected to “distinguish between biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.”
  • High school students will critically “evaluate how culture, media, society, and other people influence our perceptions of gender roles, sexuality, relationships, and sexual orientation.”

These changes to education standards will transform public schools into a conduit for promoting the latest gender theories plaguing universities across the country.

More Than 60 Ministers, Church Leaders Sign Letter Thanking Gov. Hutchinson

Transgender, ,

On May 13 the Obama Administration issued a set of guidelines instructing schools and colleges to let biological males who claim to be female use the girls’ restrooms, locker rooms, and similar facilities–and vice versa. Failure to do so, the guidelines said, could jeopardize federal funding for schools.

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson and Attorney General Leslie Rutledge were swift in denouncing the guidelines and encouraging public schools to disregard them.

Today we delivered a letter to Governor Hutchinson’s office signed by 62 ministers and church leaders thanking the governor for his strong stand.

Pastor Iverson Jackson from Little Rock wrote the letter. The leaders who signed it represent a broad cross-section of churches and denominations from communities across Arkansas.

We join these ministers in thanking Governor Asa Hutchinson and Attorney General Leslie Rutledge for their strong leadership on this issue.

You can read the letter and the list of ministers who signed it here.
