California likes to
think of itself as ahead of the rest of the nation. There is much pride when this is proclaimed
at different life-changing events.
Today California’s Governor
Jerry Brown signed an unusual piece of legislation:
"California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a controversial bill into law Monday afternoon allowing the state's transgender school students to choose which bathrooms they use and whether they participate in boy or girl sports."
As a parent, grandparent,
and retired teacher, I see nothing but trouble ahead for this new
allowance. It troubles me the events
that may come to pass, the children who may be hurt, by this legislation.
I have taught
students for whom this was a struggle.
There was never a good solution, and I suspect this is not the
solution.
Any ideas out there? I'd sure love to hear something...
