In the August 9 guidance, the two state officials tell school districts that they can not use “a pretext of inappropriateness or lewdness to systemically remove diverse perspectives from the classroom” because it violates the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHR).
The guidance suggests that the radical gay agenda is sanctioned by state law and warns against “Prohibiting discussions related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary and gender expansive people, or diverse family structures and identities using a pretext of inappropriateness or obscenity.”
The guidance also notes that banning transgender “girls” from sports or from using the girls’ bathroom and locker room facilities is illegal, saying it is against the law to “Prohibit a person from participating in a particular extracurricular program or using a particular facility because they do not conform to gender stereotypes.”
Along those same lines, the guidance adds that “Prohibiting a transgender, gender expansive, or nonbinary person from using the single-gender extracurricular program or facility most closely aligned with their gender identity” is also illegal.
The two state officials even declare that it is unlawful to require transgender people to provide proof from a physician that they are legitimately being treated for gender issues.
Oh man, if I was in high school again this could actually be fun...flip genders every day and watch the teachers try to deal with it.

If there had been a way for my friends and I to just walk into the girls' locker room that not only allowed us to get away with it, but to actively persecute anyone who tried to stop us ... well, I'd like to think that shame might have prevented us but I doubt it.
Shame? What shame? You won't feel ashamed if the authority figures are praising you and most of your peers either feel too scared to say anything or agree with you.

Well, something has to give. They are betting the farm that it won't be what I hope it is.
