"First-graders should not be forced into the classrooms of teachers undergoing sex changes."
“I should not be forced to pay taxes for schools in which discrimination in hiring practices contributes to the unemployment rate of transsexuals. I should not be forced to pay taxes for schools in which children are taught to be hateful of anyone who does not live exactly as they do.

“Let’s talk about Larry King, shot to death by an eighth grade classmate who thought that was an acceptable response to “gender-variant” behavior.

“Let’s talk about Cameron McWilliams, the ten year-old transgendered child who saw no other option but suicide. At ten.”
