  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Calif. school officials propose opt-out for religious, mental health reasons for students seeking to protect same-sex spaces

Is a California school district seeking to deem those who oppose boys in girls’ restrooms “mental health” patients?

The Temecula Valley Unified School District has sparked debate with a proposed policy to address locker room accommodations, aiming to balance California’s legal requirements with student privacy concerns. The policy, discussed at the school board’s Aug. 26 meeting, allows students to enter opposite-sex facilities if they self-identify as such, while offering opt-out options for those uncomfortable sharing spaces due to religious or mental health reasons.

Critics, however, argue the policy unfairly labels students seeking privacy as needing mental health accommodations, raising concerns about stigmatization.

Those who have mental health issues are, in my opinion, the ones pushing the transgenderism agenda upon the children.

And they wonder why public school enrollment is down.

Public school enrollment in the United States is declining. Nationally, enrollment fell from 50.8 million in fall 2019 to 49.5 million in fall 2023, a decline of 2.5%, or more than 1.2 million students.

A girl shouldn't have to claim a mental health disorder just because she doesn't want to change clothes in front of a boy.
Amen. This just needs to stop.
