Maine School's 1st Grade Curriculum: Reading, Writing and Transgenderism?
When parents send their young children off to school each day, they
usually expect that their son or daughter will receive a well-rounded
education in subjects like reading, writing, math and science.
All topics that will hopefully help shape the futures of their children
and—one day—turn them into bright, young professionals. However, one
Maine mother recently learned that the “well-rounded education” for her
child also included a lesson on what it means to be transgender.
First grade parents at Horace Mitchell Primary School in
Kittery Point, Maine received an email from their child’s teacher,
Sandy Hamel on March 31 informing parents that the students had a lesson
on the transgender children’s book, “I am Jazz.”
The email reads:
“Last week our guidance counselor, Dana Richerich, read a book to the
class called ‘I am Jazz’. It is a children's book about a girl that is
transgendered. (Born a boy, but identifies as a girl). The
book/discussion went really well. (I stayed for the lesson so I would
know what the class was covered/discussed). Following is a link provided
by Dana for parents.”
The mother was less than pleased to learn that this book was involved
in the class curriculum and says, “I feel like my thoughts, feelings
and beliefs were completely ignored….My right as a parent to allow or
not allow this discussion with my child was taken from me. It is very
upsetting to me that I didn't have an option at all.”
The book, “I am Jazz” is based off of the life of now 14-year-old
Jazz Jennings who, although born a boy, claims to have identified as a
girl since he was two-years-old.
According to the book’s Amazon.com page...continue reading |

Obama's Red Lines are Meaningless
Not only is Obama bungling the nuclear deal with Iran, but he has also
managed to take another step backwards in relations with Russia.
In 2010, Obama's administration took credit for getting Russia to suspend its arms sales to Iran in its famed “Russian reset.”
Well guess what?
Russia's Vladimir Putin has decided to lift this ban, just as negotiations over Iran's nuclear program are winding down.
Russia will deliver to Iran the S-300 surface-to-air missile system,
the sale of which was once labeled a “red line” by the Obama
administration.
Oh well, Obama's red lines are now meaningless and the world is less safe because of it.
