More gay propaganda for 3rd graders

3rd-graders asked to help classmate in gender change
Parents given 1-day notice of presentation explaining boy would now wear girl clothes

A Pennsylvania elementary school has angered parents by giving them one-day's notice of planned counseling sessions with 100 third-grade students to explain that one of their male classmates would soon begin wearing girls' clothing and taking a female name and to ask that they accept him as a girl and not make unkind remarks.

The exercise in "social transition" was initiated by the boy's parents who approached the administration at Chatham Park Elementary School in Haverford Township asking that the school help in having their child's female identity find acceptance among his peers. After consulting experts on transgender children, the Haverford School District sent letters to parents advising them the school guidance counselor would meet with their children, reported the Philadelphia Inquirer.

While some parents contacted the principal asking that their children be excused, others took their anger out online.

"Why is the school introducing this subject to 8- and 9-year-olds?" wrote an angry parent who started a discussion on the Haverford Township's blog site. "Why were we not notified sooner. We received the letter today, the discussion at school is tomorrow."

Again, this problem would end quickly if those irritated parents simply pull their kids out of school that day. Not much the state could do, except take notice, when hundreds or thousands of kids don't show up for school.

Actually that is illegal in PA and parents can be fined and/ or jailed for an unexcused absence of their child

Ok, but the strength is in the numbers. Do you think they'd jail thousands of them?

all the parents have to do is write that the kid was sick.... nothing the school can do about it, unless the student has a history of many absent days. I see it all the time here in MD. where the parents let the kid stay home and then write a note claiming the child to be sick.

No, just fine each one $250 and solve their budget issue for a couple of months.

Do you really think an 8 year old has "sexual identification issues" or is it the parents that really wanted a girl for the last 8 years?

NOW the kid has mental and sexual issues, and now want to make the rest of the 3rd grade join him. Therapists must love this, they are looking at how many potential future weekly customers?
