....Because I can protect my kids from this:

An elementary school in Haverford, Pennsylvania gave parents a one-day's notice last week before counseling 100 THIRD-GRADE students on how to treat one of their male classmates who decided to undergo a gender change.

The students were informed that the boy soon would begin wearing girls' clothing and taking a female name and they were asked to accept him as a girl and not to make any unkind remarks.

According to the article, some sane parents contacted the principal and asked that their children be excused, while others voiced their anger on the Haverford Township's blog site.

One parent simply asks,

"Why is the school introducing this subject to 8-and 9-year olds? Why were we not notified sooner. We received the letter today, the discussion is tomorrow."

I'm not making this stuff up, folks. You can read the entire article here.

Just when you think it can't get any weirder...
