I am still appalled that people can be such wankers that they make a big deal about someone's personal life choices, but our society is what it is and thankfully we seem to be moving toward acceptance. There have been no riots there, right? I shouldn't even mention that... : )<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('291','Linda'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('291','Linda','I think it\'s a huge step that they let her return to work.

At least the school board had the sense to permit the teacher to continue on. Although it did cross my cynical mind that they were probably afraid of a lawsuit if they ruled otherwise. Having grade school children myself, I feel fairly certain that the whole transsexual concept would not disturb most kids. At least my kids would just shrug it off. And even if it did raise some questions, it would provide a good opportunity for a lesson in tolerance and accepting other people's differences.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('290','Cyn'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('290','Cyn','I saw this story in the newspaper today (dinosaur that I am, I still read the paper.)
