The Delaware Department of Education Regulation 225 has been amended as a result of a directive from Gov. Carney to Secretary of Education, Dr. Susan Bunting, in a memo dated July 17. The department was directed to provide guidance through regulation to school districts and charter schools to prohibit unlawful discrimination of “Protected Characteristics” in educational programs and activities for students.

Regulation 225 Section 7.4 states that all students enrolled in a Delaware public school may self-identify their gender and race. If a student wants to change his/her gender or race, and the school perceives that the student’s parents may not be supportive, the school may bypass the parents.

Every parent should be outraged by this regulation. It’s parents who oversee the care and protection of their children. If a parent affirms his/her child’s biological sex, and now race, he/she is positioned as discriminatory through policies like Regulation 225.

Regulation 225 Section 6.4 also says that a student shall have the opportunity to participate on the team that is consistent with the student’s gender identity regardless of the student’s assignment at birth.

Compassionate accommodations can and should be extended to students struggling with biological realities in a way that protects the privacy, safety and dignity of everyone.

Regulation 225 threatens student privacy and parents’ rights and ignores biological differences between the sexes in competitive sports, which is a serious setback for the advancements made to equal athletic opportunities for girls.

It’s a safety and privacy concern when any student of any age, at any time, can claim or self-identify as the opposite gender and have access to the locker rooms, showers, restrooms, overnight accommodations, and any school activity, such as sports teams, that is gender specific. No federal law requires school districts to grant students access to facilities dedicated to the opposite sex. Yet, this is what Regulation 225 does.

No student should ever be pressured to undress, shower, or share overnight accommodations with individuals of the opposite sex. There is no recourse in situations like this, because that would make it discriminatory according to the language in Regulation 225.

Film at 11....

WOW!

Yeah, but he had a 3 way with Betty and Veronica, so it's cool.

Tax payers should not be made to support this. I wonder how many parents will move their kids to private schools. The extreme left goes to far once again. What are the thinking? Why doesn't Trump stop this?

The man knows his cartoon fetishes. I'll give him that!

My Bad...

These types of policies and laws are the exact types of things that were radically instituted in former USSR States and blind individulaistic doctrine was instilled into the younger generations which is wby communism spread so rapidly in those days.

This type of political gerrymandering on the side of the left needs to be quashed before the younger generations become brainwashed that capitalism is the devil.

What's really sad about the whole thing is 6 & 78 year old kids are being asked if they're with their race & gender... they should be trying to figure their favorite crayon color or how to get their puppy-dogs into class.. not this kinda crap...

Those Bassards..!!

cuz I heard all libs do this.

Art?

Art Carney was a transsexual?

Damn.....he musta been an ugly broad.

ya scared me with first line of #16...so this isn't my fault?
I still haven't read the op

Stupid is as stupid does...

That time of the month?

I like Chocolates.......Shrimp, not so much

If a leftist goes to far to the left does he/she become a righty? And what is the proper gender non specific noun? It?
Thing? Or maybe just Pat.

It and Thing Addams...anybody know what sex they self identified?

Should schools consult with a child's parents for other decisions the kid makes that may impact a protected classification? What if a child joins an Islamic study group? A white kid joins the Black Student Union? The LGBTQ Club?

Note the OP article mentions "the parents are NOT supportive". How many parents of gay kids were supportive when they learned their kid was homosexual? How many children were traumatized by how their families treated them when they came out?

School officials in most of the US now have a duty to report evidence of child abuse to the police WITHOUT consulting the child's parents. Why?

Just food for thought....this subject requires some level of thought before a knee-jerk attack on libtards...

I interpret this a little different. It appears they want to push for trans to be able to compete in the gender divisions of their choosing.

That sounds all good on paper, but this little thing called biology gets in the way. Boys are bigger and stronger than girls... that's just the way it is... that's why the idea is stupid AF.

Disclaimer: I have 2 baby girls, don't want some male dressed as a chick manhandling them on the bball court.

Nothing about the issue here. I just love when opinion pieces are presented as “news”.
The audience for this stuff needs to be told to feel outrage - and that not feeling out rage would make them the subject of outrage themselves.

And now that the “facts” have been dispositions, and the people instructed how to feel, we can rally against our common and faceless enemy.

Unless Frank is around.....

We need a scapegoat - how’s your schedule look?
I’m kinda booked for the holidays.....

Then we can solder on togther.

no, no.
It's Platinum Level Lib Club jargon

Drafter secretly wants to be a liberal. But Fox won’t let him out of his contract......

Good cover -

But I think people are on to you.....
