Does your local public high school have a "Diversity Day"?
Freshmen at Cony High School in Augusta, Maine, recently had a day-long "diversity celebration" which included a workshop entitled "Transgenderism."
"Transgendering" is what educators and media types call it when a severely disturbed individual undergoes surgical mutilation to "become" a member of the opposite sex. The distinctive male or female sex organs are cut off, hormodes are administered, and supposedly a man becomes a woman, or vice-versa. That the alteration is purely superficial, that there is in fact no "change" at all, is seldom mentioned.
Students who opted out of "Diversity Day" reportedly were offered a workshop on "hate crimes." If the event had been held in Canada, just trying to opt out might have been punished as a hate crime in and of itself. But here in America the Sexual/Secular Left can only intimidate, not punish.
Leading the "Transgendering" workshop was a 19-year-old supposedly in the progress of "changing" from one sex to another, helped along by hormone "therapy." (Please pardon the quotation marks. It's hard to write about these things without abusing the English language.) We assume this lost soul was offered as a role model.
None of this would have made the news, but the for the efforts of the Christian Civil League, who discovered that their state has earmarked almost $250,000 of taxpayers' money for the promotion of aberrant sexuality in Maine's public schools. The program is administered through the state attorney general's office, which sets up clubs in which high school students can "explore" and "discuss" various topics relating to "sexual diversity"--or, as the CCL puts it, "to create safe zones in the schools where students can affirm sex outside of marriage." To deceive parents and other taxpayers, these groups have been dubbed "civil rights teams." League spokesmen believe this project will soon be extended to the state's middle schools and elementary schools.
Teaching children that you can be whatever sex you "want" to be reaches a new threshold of rebellion against God's natural order. The Bible teaches us, "male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:27), but Maine's "educators" teach that we can use scalpels and chemicals to re-create ourselves as we please. Again, these techniques change only the superficial appearance of the "patient." But if you're going to rebel against God, you'll need a sizeable dose of self-delusion.
Christian Reconstructionists must continue to work hard to set up godly alternatives to public education. Homeschooling, Christian schools, on-line resources, parents' support networks--all are very badly needed: not just to educate Christian children today, but against the day when the trickle of children out of the public schools becomes a torrent. We cannot believe there are really very many parents who honestly want their children to "explore transgendering"!
As for those "educators" and state officials who actively use the public schools to promote homosexuality, promiscuity, abortion, and now "transgendering," we doubt not that God has prepared a suitable reward for them.
