Conservative activists are in an uproar over a new transgender-inclusive policy in Massachusetts [PDF] designed to prevent gender identity-discrimination in schools. Today, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council added his voice, arguing that Massachusetts schools will soon see "teenage boys invading girls' locker rooms."

    If there's one subject giving Massachusetts schools trouble, it's anatomy! Hello, I'm Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. In kindergarten classes, learning about genders won't be the problem--but ignoring them might be! Under a new statewide directive, Massachusetts officials are rolling out the welcome mat to cross-dressing students by banning everything from gender-based sports teams to sex-specific bathrooms. And anyone who doesn't like it had better keep quiet--or else. If a student so much as refers to a peer by their biological sex, it's "grounds for discipline." And people wonder why families are pulling their children out of public school!

Actually, Mr. Perkins should be told about the parents who are pulling their children out of Public Schools because of people like him that have limited the amount of actual education that the children can receive.  When a public school cannot have an up to date science program because the newest and best science does not have roots in Genesis, and affirms that the human genome is dynamic and not static as creationists claim, there are parents who are tired of that bull too, and probably more of them than the ones who pull their children from schools because some 7 year old forgot to put up a zipper.

You know because of the state of our public schools in general I've had several friends go to home schooling for their kids.  They would rather educate their kids to be critical thinkers and able to look around at the world around them and make educated decisions.

Um... There are some public school teachers that care very much about teaching their students critical thinking and decision making skills.
