The latest tale of this type comes to us from the Richard J Kinsella Magnet School in Hartford, Connecticut. A school nurse by the name of Kathleen Cataford who was working there was discovered to have answered some questions about the school from inquiring parents on Facebook. Part of the information she revealed about her school was that there were a number of children who were identified as being \u201cnon-binary\u201d and at least one 11-year-old female student was on puberty blockers. She claimed that in many cases, the children\u2019s parents were unaware of their child\u2019s \u201cnon-binary\u201d status and the information was being deliberately withheld from them. She further described the school administration as being \u201cgender confused.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once this information came to light, complaints were made, but not about the intrusive and secretive nature of the school\u2019s administration. Instead, complaints were lodged against the nurse for discussing it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10665389\/School-nurse-suspended-revealing-student-11-puberty-blockers.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">She was promptly suspended<\/a> as a result and may be facing termination. (Daily Mail)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Kathleen Cataford, who worked at the Richard J Kinsella Magnet School in Hartford, was axed from her role Monday over the post, which was branded transphobic.<\/p>\n<p>Writing on a local mom\u2019s group in response to a request for local school recommendations, the 77 year-old said: \u2018Investigate the school system curriculum\u2026CT is a very socially liberal, gender confused state,\u2019 the post read. <\/p>\n<p>It continued: \u2018As a public school nurse, I have an 11yo female student on puberty blockers and a dozen identifying as non-binary, all but two keeping this as a secret from their parents with the help of teachers, SSW [social workers] and school administration. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Curiously enough, one of the parents lodging a complaint was the mother of the 11-year-old girl in question. But she wasn\u2019t complaining about her daughter receiving these treatments. She was upset that the information was being made public on social media. Apparently, the mother was perfectly fine with this dangerous medical practice taking place, but wanted the \u201csnitch\u201d who was telling other parents about it to be punished. And she got her wish.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s becoming more and more difficult to fight this sort of insanity since significant segments of the medical community (though not all, thankfully) have begun abandoning accepted medical practices and giving in to the demands of the woke transgender movement. The fact that this trend is spreading deeply into our public school systems is equally disturbing.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t care if I\u2019m beating a dead horse here, but we will simply point out for the umpteenth time that the FDA has never approved the use of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists used as puberty blockers for the treatment of gender dysphoria. They are approved to treat precocious puberty, which can cause serious problems in children in the thankfully rare cases where it shows up. Studies have been commissioned, but there won\u2019t be any final results for some time. We should also remember that the normal onset of puberty is a critical juncture in the healthy development of children, where hormones trigger a series of complicated changes that advance the normal development of their bodies toward adulthood. Messing around with that in the name of \u201cgender awareness\u201d or whatever should be a criminal offense.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s the issue of the schools not only recognizing but encouraging this trend of gender-bending and claiming to be \u201cnonbinary\u201d while hiding that information from the students\u2019 parents. This is abhorrent. Once again, do you know who tells children things like \u201c<em>don\u2019t tell mommy and daddy because this is our secret<\/em>?\u201d Pedophiles do. These teachers and administrators are adults, or at least they are supposed to be. They should know better. And the parents deserve to know what\u2019s going on in the lives of their children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If anyone thinks that this particular debate involving both transgender policy and medical procedures is going away any time soon, allow me to assure you that it isn\u2019t.
