California makes another step for education.

Wikipedia, God bless 'em

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...
