Pray tell how is a 6 yr old child going to know or even think they might fit the "transgender profile". Story says she plays football with the boys but when she gets hurt, she tells the staff "I'm not really a boy, I'm a girl". Whoever her parents are need their ass kicked. How the hell would a 6 yr old know anything about transgender sexuality?
A federal discrimination complaint has been filed on behalf of a Katy-area educator who says she was wrongly terminated for refusing to address a 6-year-old girl as a transgender boy, the teacher's attorneys said Tuesday.
Madeline Kirksey, of Houston, who worked at the Children's Lighthouse Learning Center location on Clay Road, was fired Nov. 3 after she would not agree to treat the child as a male and call the child by a new male name, according to a copy of the filing with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Attorney Andy Taylor pointed to Kirksey's protected class as a black female over 40 who holds religious convictions. "All of those rights were not vindicated but destroyed," Taylor said.
Taylor represented the plaintiffs who challenged the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, which was originally passed by the city council but was repealed by Houston voters last week. Taylor is joined in Kirksey's case by attorney Briscoe Cain. Kirksey's pastor also attended and spoke at a morning news conference at a Galleria-area hotel.
Reached by phone Tuesday, Jamie Izaks, a spokesman for the Children's Lighthouse Learning Centers, said Kirksey was not fired because of the matter relating to the transgender student. He said he could not comment on matters related to employment.
The learning center franchises, first established in Fort Worth, exist in multiple states, and the company promotes itself online as "the leading values-based educational child care system in the U.S." Izaks said the schools are accepting of all religions and have a reputation for nurturing and raising great students.
Taylor stressed that the child had been attending school since the start of classes as a "little girl."
Using fake names, Taylor said that the child left school Friday as "Sally" and returned on Monday going by "Johnny." "They had a real issue on their hands," Taylor said of the school staff.
Taylor maintained the child's gender identity wasn't set in stone. He said the child continued to use the girls' bathroom. The 6-year-old also played football with the boys and, when hit hard, cried and said, "I'm really not a little boy."
Taylor likened the imposition of such a decision over gender on a child to "child abuse." At such a young age, he said, kids haven't even decided what ice cream or cereal they prefer.
The attorney praised Kirksey for standing up to protect the child from ridicule, as well as keeping the other children at the school in mind who would have been "mightily" confused.

Don't forget, it was Obama who last week made it legal for this transgender person to get what they are seeking here.
Your deceit, is horrid.

Hmm. Quite the conundrum. On one hand, if say call the child whatever name the child prefers. But it sounds like the child is confused, not committed. Tough spot.

Your real name is blaxxx.
If the teacher says, I want all the blaxx's against the wall, my wallet is missing again, you just go to the wall, huh?
If the teacher says, color the sky blaxx, when the kids say, like him or lighter, do you get offended?

Gender, and what a particular sex is supposed to do, is learned behavior from our parents and society.
Some parents don't adhere to the "expected norms" of society, and will let their children grow, without the barometers set in place, they challenge them.
Do I agree, not sure. I understand challenging the norms, however, not with a child.

It would help if more information was forthcoming.
At this time, I feel that the parents are totally at fault here.
The child is a tomboy.
Madeline Kirksey should not have been fired.
The matter of gender identity should be between the school administration & the parents.

... gender identity should be between the school administration & the parents. Wow. You are dumb.
yon school's admin are not the ones walking around the school as student body...nor inside of girls' lockerrooms and restrooms dealing with this scenario. Female students and all teachers are!
LOL
You need to return to college, quick, or perhaps go enroll for the first time at least.

Any changes to a child's name, or physical condition should be addressed with the school administration first. Such changes should be placed in the student's file immediately.
Once the parents report such changes, the administration addresses those changes to the teachers.
Some employed people call this a......staff meeting.
This way, the teachers can make any necessary adjustments & accommodations to make the transitions as smooth as possible.
This should have been set in motion before the child returned to school.
Lastly, the first word of every sentence must begin with a capital letter.
Insulting my intelligence while displaying pure sentence structure only highlights your overall ignorance & immaturity.
