This would be funny if it weren't so sick.

What the hell is a Transgender Day of Remembrance, I wondered. I find that it is about ONE unsolved murder of someone who was allegedly killed because they were a transgender. Is that really the best that educators can manage, in a country where about 10,000 children are hurt or killed by road accidents every year? Is that one life somehow more important than everyone else's? (I was recently exchanging e-mail with a trandgender who said to me "if I met you and you thought I was anything other than the woman I believe myself to be, then clearly I have a problem. Transgender people should not be noticeable in society simply because we should not be obvious." I couldn't agree more!)

I think the people that put this calendar together need to be sacked. Children are in an education system to learn, not to be harassed by some crazies' ideas of sexual propaganda.

February 7 - International Day of Zero-Tolerance on Female Genital Cutting/Mutilation (International)

These marxist crackpots have zero credibility when they totally ignore the legal genital mutilation of millions of boys right in their own backyard, where FGM is outlawed.

They'll tell you it's about promoting tolerance, but pushing lesbianism, transgender and homosexual politics onto 6-year-olds isn't just about undermining hetrosexuality, religion and traditional values, it's also about RECRUITMENT! Catch them young, brainwash them and grow your deviant cult. And having a broader voting base equates to more political power!

I was a little uncomfortable when my boy was 6 and the teacher called to have us talk to him about kissing all the girls on the playground. At the time, I remember being grateful there were no complaints so he wouldn't have a "record".

This is beyond the pale. Political correctness has gone completely insane.

I work for the state, so I'm used to seeing the displays about whichever groups we're paying special attention to this month, but I'm an adult. I can choose whether to participate or not. Whether I agree or not. Little kids are so much easier to brainwash.

I have no problem with anyone being a member of any of these groups. What I have a problem with is people putting labels on themselves, and then basing their self-worth on those labels. What ever happened to being a human being and helping those in need because it was the right thing to do??? I guess it's not politically correct...

Where is the 'Patriarchy Rememberance Day' ?

Where is the 'Sound Fellows with Big Swinging Dicks Day'?

Where is 'Balls Rights Day'?

Where is FREE WILLIES DAY ?

@Kelly Mac, I am confused, entlighten me;

His mom allowed him to dress like a girl. Not the same thing as dressing him like a girl. Nowhere near the same thing as dressing him as a girl and then posting his picture on facebook. Do you honestly think he would face the ridicule he will surely get at school if he didn't feel strongly about dressing that way? Give the kid some credit.

As far as the boy's mother getting what she wanted, there's no evidence at all that it's coming from her. Personally it would bother me if my son wanted to dress like a girl. I would be embarrassed, and that would be on me, because if that's what he wanted to do, I would let him.

Just because you and I weren't born homosexual or gender dysphoric or however they call it, doesn't mean no one was.

You say you have no problem with a young boy of ten asking and getting permission to go to school in girl clothes because his mom says he wants this because he feels he is not in the right gender, and it his own body or whatever kind of crap, but you are squeamish of your own 6 year old having a bad reputation for going around elementary school grounds kissing other girls for fear, he, OR MAYBE YOU might get a RECORD!@?.

May I remind you Kelly Mac that we are dealing with children? They have no concept of sexuality beyond the parents and media that surround them!!!!!!

As you so appropriately know and defend when it is your kin and name on the line.

Yet you state that a ten year old boy can assume his own dressing/sexual orientation/habits, without fear of ridicule, which will prejudice him for sure and the mother was correct in allowing this?

I don't think you are very consistent between post here!? My opinion. And many know what I think of opinions. They are like assholes, everyone has one.

That was yours. My opinion will stay to the way side as I am being moderated and respect that.

I do think however I brought a very decent double standard forward concerning this thought or these thoughts of yours.

GIVE THE KID SOME CREDIT?

I would love to give your six year old son the same credit you want to give to this 10yr old boy. Think about it!!

You misunderstand me.

At the time this happened (around 2002 or so), there were headlines about little boys being listed as sex offenders because of innocent behavior like my boy exhibited. He could have carried a permanent record for sexual harassment or even sexual assault.

It was a very real possibility, and the damage could/would have followed him for the rest of his life.

In that case, you have first hand knowledge of the misandry that is rampant in preschool and elementary and beyond.

Imagine living it from such a young age!?

Are you still sticking by the fact that a 10yr old boy chooses his own sexual identity beyond his pecker and what we as adults dress him in? I know this sounds basic and neanderthal worded in this way, but it is a core issue.

I honestly don't know. I've read/seen a number of interviews with gay/transgendered people, and when asked, they mostly say that they knew from a very early age.

Let me ask you a question: Do you honestly think that boy didn't know the ridicule he was inviting? That in itself should tell you how strongly he feels. The thought of not being able to express himself as he sees himself is more painful to him than the thought of ridicule for dressing that way.

Think about that. I don't claim to understand the motivation, but it doesn't seem like a whim to me.

Quite so. Many young people go through a curious phase, where they are likely to experiment before aligning on their true (overwhelmingly heterosexual) nature.

Tolerance of those who are not heterosexual is one thing. Promotion of sexual deviance is something else altogether and is a sickening practice.

I remember being in Grade 1, and we didn't have that sort of thing in elementary school back in 1997/1998. We didn't even have that in HS (2003-2009). At college, the LGBT people are extremely low key and I wouldn't recognize any of them, even if I tripped over them.

@kelly mac, as I said before, I don't think a child that young even has a sense of his own sexuality beyond what he or she is being taught. I stand by this.

When my boys were in elementary school we didn't have a calendar like the one in the article, but we did have the issue of the schools having a reading list for kids that included "My Two Mommies" and "My Dad and Mike". This raised an uproar among the parents. The school board just made the parents request in writing that their kids not read the books. They thought by naming and shaming the parents for their views that they would back off their criticism of the school board and the books. It backfired on the PTA and school Board. Over 80% of the parents signed their name on the dotted line and said "No Way".

Nowdays kids are exposed to all kinds of gender-sexual material at school, the biggest complaint is that it promotes and supports homosexuals and their rights. If I were a parent of young children now, I'd be concerned and look at every books my kids were required to read.

And the naming and shaming tactics continue by the schools and the school boards. I have a real problem with that. Using children to foster political and social movements is wrong.

When I was a kid there was a big movement to make sure kids were not educated to be "Commies" or "Reds".

Now kids have to deal with Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, Cis-Gender, Dual Gender, and the like.

Boys are taught they are potential rapists and abusers. Girls are taught that they are potential victims.

This is so utterly wrong and destructive to both genders. The critics are silenced by the Name and Shame PC game.

Time to end this insanity. Time to teach your kids values that you hold dear.

As parents WE are the ultimate teachers for our kids. It's our job and life's mission and me must never forget it.
