Parents of students in a California school district have been stunned by word that the school is allowing a man who works in the lunchroom to dress like a woman, wearing exposed bra straps and a spaghetti-strap top that would not be allowed for students.
And a law firm addressing the issue said those are exactly the circumstances that are fueling a popular uprising against a state legislative plan that would require schools to indoctrinate children as young as 5 with the idea that homosexuality, transsexuality and other alternative lifestyles are not only acceptable, but to be looked at as models.

The newest case has developed in the Sierra Sands Unified School District in Ridgecrest. (http://www.ssusd.org/) According to the Pacific Justice Institute, (http://www.pacificjustice.org/) it was parent Phyllis Fernandez who raised the issue.
“A parent of two young girls was caught off guard recently when her daughters came home from school with questions about a man dressed like a woman on duty in the school cafeteria. The parent was further chagrined when officials in the Sierra Sands Unified School District confirmed the story but insisted their hands were tied,” according to the Pacific Justice report.
“What continues to floor the parent, Phyllis Fernandez, whose daughters attend kindergarten and third grade at Faller Elementary School, is that the employee’s attire would not be permissible for students. The employee, a substitute lunch duty worker, was wearing makeup and a spaghetti strap shirt, with his bra straps visible to students. District dress code policies for students ban both spaghetti straps and visible undergarments,” the report said.
“I shouldn’t have to be explaining to my five and eight year old girls why a man at their school is wearing a bra,” said Fernandez. “The school believes they have to give special treatment to this individual because of his chosen gender expression, but the learning environment is suffering.”
Attorneys at the institute who are advising Fernandez noted that this type of frustration is serving to build support for a repeal of SB48, the newly approved law that would demand that schools promote transgender, bisexual and homosexual historical figures.
“Parents are fed up with schools being manipulated by politicians and special interest groups to push an extreme social agenda,” said PJI President Brad Dacus. “Behavior like cross-dressing disrupts the educational environment, and parents have a right to be concerned for their children.”
Superintendent Joanna Rummer told WND the situation is as the parents described, but she said the school by state law must allow the “transgender” employee to express his sexual orientation.
“I can confirm … that his attire has caused some conversation. It’s no surprise that some people are concerned about this. But labor laws protect this sort of action. We have spoken with the employee … about the district’s expectations that his appearance must be professional.”
However, she said the district was not allowed to “infringe” on the employee’s “rights.”
The campaign to repeal SB48 has been assembled online. It is approaching a critical point at which hundreds of thousands of citizen signatures must be submitted for the issue to be referred to voters in the next election.
