The California Law…

As many of you know, a new law went into effect on January first in California integrating trans-students in schools and that there is opposition to the coming from the right. Most of the time when you hear “Fox News” you think of the ultra-conservative national network, but surprisingly some of the local outlet try to be balanced like the local affiliate here in Hartford.

The local Fox affiliate in Los Angeles did a report on the new law that I think was pretty good. The video covers both sides of the debate; they interview someone from the Transgender Law Center and also someone from the right. The reporter pointed out that LA has had the policy for ten years,

Typically, other students don't even realize it. The idea is to prevent bullying, to prevent someone from being singled out as different.  The folks at LAUSD say they've been doing this for 10 years without any real problems.  Still, a group of conservative groups in California are banding together calling themselves '' Privacy for all Students'', gathering signatures to force a ballot initiative to allow voters a chance to repeal what's technically known as the School Success and Opportunity Act. They say it will lead to awkward and unwanted violations of privacy, girls looking at boys, and vice versa, but supporters say that just doesn't happen.

I tried embedding the video but the code doesn’t seem to work I was able to get the code to work, so if you watch the video just make sure that you have taken your blood pressure and heart medication before you read the comments.
