I have a Problem with the Trans issue in Public Schools

If you follow my posts you know I'm a big ole liberal. I'm for equality for everyone. When it comes to the trans issue in our public schools I have a problem.

Do you know what school kids are studying in Europe, Asia, South America? Science, math, history, geography, languages,
- all subjects that will help students be successful in needed professions. But here in America our kids are occupied with if they are a boy or a girl, and what bathroom to use. This is cheating them out of a useful education.

Our kids have enough problems with school shootings and other violence. Responsible adults must give students a safe environment at school, and teach the subjects they are supposed to teach, not gender experimentation.

Let's just say anyone is free to be a boy, a girl, trans or a Duck-Billed Platypus. Issue solved. Now get back to your science and math books.

In America this does prepare them for a life in America where one can only have a single issue at a time. The main courses for American school are guns, religion and LGBT+. As these are the defining characteristics of Americans and thus it does prepare one for a life in America.
It's other parts of the world that are the intellectuals. Other parts of the world emphasize knowledge and education.
America is the middle east of the west. The mid-west if you will.

@Renaci It seems like trans is just the latest shock issue that creates indignation, hostility and division. It used to be gays, but now most people are pretty accepting of gays, so something new had to happen: Trans people!

I have a feeling this is all a big distraction, meant to divert Americans from real issues such as lack of affordable medical care, lack of affordable housing, inadequate public transit, gun control and hugely excessive military spending.

How about this; you can call yourself a boy, a girl, trans, or a duck-billed platypus. I DON'T CARE! Now let's get to work on getting universal health care.
