Award-winning gay teacher suspended for calling transgender ideology ‘anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-human’...

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A gay fifth grade teacher in Glendale, California, was placed on leave after complaining at a school board meeting that his school promotes transgenderism.

Ray Shelton, a 25-year veteran teacher, spoke at a recent meeting of the school board for the Glendale Unified School District wearing a T-shirt that read “Make Biology Great Again.”

Shelton, who teaches at Mark Keppel Elementary School, has been named the Glendale school district’s “Teacher of the Year” twice and earlier this year won the PTA’s Golden Oak Award.

In an exclusive interview, Shelton, who is gay, told The Daily Signal that his intent in speaking at the Glendale school board’s April 18 meeting was to speak what he called “basic, commonsense truths.”

Shelton told the board:

Two plus two equals four. The world is not flat. Boys have penises; girls have vaginas. Gender is binary and cannot be changed. Biology is not bigotry. Heterosexuality is not hate. Gender confusion and gender delusion are deep psychological disorders. No caring professional or loving parent would ever support the chemical poisoning or surgical mutilation of a child’s genitalia.

Transgender ideology is anti-gay, it is anti-woman, and it is anti-human. It wants to take away women’s sports, women’s rights, women’s achievements—it is misogyny writ large.

And I can also say this as a gay man, the gay people …

At this point, someone muted Shelton’s microphone and a board member informed the teacher that his time was up.

Applause broke out from the audience.

Recall what Congressmen Mark Takano said in "What is a Women". When asked how do you respond to women losing their right to privacy in bathrooms his response was that we have to respect a transgender's "basic right to live". I don’t know how using a bathroom is part and parcel of a person’s basic right to live but that was his reply. So women have to deal with it because a transgender’s basic right to live supercedes a women’s right to privacy.

Society was put on this slippery slope when same-sex-marriage was made legal.

The Ts are a threat to the Ls and Gs, and they know it. Both groups are talking about it. The Ts should be kicked out of LGBT.

Jordan Peterson likes to tweet pictures of surgery for trans people. It's pretty horrendous. I can't bear to look at the pictures.

Absolutely. Look how much damage it has done to our society already.

Good for him for speaking the truth. God bless him.
