Pennsylvania: School officials deal with “transgender student” age 9, parents in uproar
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports:
For school officials in Haverford Township, the challenge was daunting: What do you do when a 9-year-old student, with the full support of his parents, decides that he is no longer a boy and instead is a girl?
Parents of a third-grade student at Chatham Park Elementary School approached the administration on April 16 to ask for help in making a “social transition” for their child.
The Haverford School District consulted experts on transgender children, then sent letters to parents advising them that the guidance counselor would meet with the school’s 100 third-grade students to explain why their classmate would now wear girls’ clothes and be called by a girl’s name.
Some parents objected. Eight called the principal to ask that their child not attend the session, and some posted angry messages on the Haverford Township blog . . .

Was the information confirmed by a doctor? If it was confirmed, then the teacher had no right doing what he was going to do. He should have been written up for even thinking of such a move.
