Christian Teacher Wins $360,000 Settlement After Opposing School’s Gender Identity Policy

A healthcare organization that operates clinics inside Seattle public schools says it can now offer “gender-affirming” hormone treatment to children, emails from a health center program manager reveal. Emails obtained by The Daily Wire reveal that Neighborcare Health, a healthcare organization that runs clinics in middle and elementary schools in the Seattle Public Schools district, announced in January 2023 that hormone treatments were now included in the “gender-affirming care” it could offer. “The Neighborcare Health team wanted to share an exciting new update to our School-based Health Center services,” the email from a Program Manager for Neighborcare Health, which was obtained by Parents Defending Education through a public records request, reads. “Our program will begin offering comprehensive, evidence-based, gender-affirming care services to our students and families who need them.” The change meant that the group could now give hormone treatments to children, it explained. “While our School-based Health Centers have long offered a continuum of gender-affirming care services including supportive student counseling, promotion of social identity, and health education, this step will allow us to begin offering families access to important medical interventions including hormone treatments,” it states. The offerings mark one of the boldest efforts to create what Manhattan Institute Fellow Leor Sapir has dubbed the “school-to-clinic pipeline” whereby young school children are encouraged to undergo irreversible medical interventions that seek to change their sex. Neighborcare, which runs 14 different school-based clinics in Seattle Public Schools and Vashon Island School District, states that its mission is to “help students do better in school by working to address health concerns, prevent serious illness, and promote healthy lifestyles.” The clinic does not, however, openly admit to providing so-called “gender-affirming care,” which is conspicuously absent from its “services offered” list despite announcing that it would begin offering hormone therapies at some of its school-based clinics over a year ago. The company official stated in the email that its foray into hormone treatment for children would initially be to a pilot program and that the administration of the irreversible drugs would only occur with parental approval. “These services will be a small pilot available to students and families within the existing schools we serve,” the email went on to state, also noting that hormone therapy will only be administered to those who have the approval of parents or legal guardians. The company defended its decision to offer cross-sex hormone therapy to children in a comment to The Daily Wire, claiming that it was a form of “life-saving care.” “Gender-affirming care in its many forms represents life-saving care for many of the youth and their families who choose it,” spokeswoman Mary Schilder told The Daily Wire. “Neighborcare Health offers care for transgender and non-binary students that align with best practices defined by regional and national pediatric care authorities and is aimed at meeting needs expressed by the students and families we serve.” Rhyen Staley, a researcher for Parents Defending Education, which obtained the documents through a public records request, called the administration of irreversible treatments to children in schools “unconscionable.” “It is deeply concerning that the institutions Americans have traditionally trusted with keeping children healthy and safe are now giving them access to harmful medical practices,” Rhyen Staley, a researcher for Parents Defending Education, told The Daily Wire. “It is unconscionable that this is happening within the K-12 school setting.” A separate email from an unidentified individual working in public health for Seattle and King County flagged the Neighborcare Health email to people associated with the Seattle Children’s Hospital and Seattle Schools. “I know many of you are already providing different levels of care and support for your students around gender and I simply wanted to share this,” the email states, before pointing out that “there is the possibility of media interest” in the program. Though medical institutions that turn a profit by administering irreversible cross-sex hormones to children claim that transgender medical interventions are “life-saving,” European countries to the left of the United States have recently restricted the use of puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Sweden and England have both taken steps to limit the availability of medical interventions that seek to change the sex of patients. The Scandinavian country stopped hormone therapy for minors with few exceptions while England’s National Health Service stopped prescribing puberty blockers. Some of the most vocal advocates in favor of administering puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children actually receive funding from the very same pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the drugs that are given to children suffering from gender dysphoria, Daily Wire investigations have revealed. Seattle Public Schools, which did not respond to a request for comment, has pushed medical gender transitions more blatantly than perhaps any other school district, but it is far from the only one to encourage children to undergo irreversible medical interventions intended to modify one’s sex. The Daily Wire previously revealed that the Los Angeles Unified School District reached out to a transgender youth clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles after staff found out that a student was considering going on testosterone therapy. The district, which frequently pushes transgenderism on students through its lesson plans, book readings, and spirit day celebrations, had just recently hosted members of the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles to advertise the transgender clinic’s offerings to parents. Conservative journalist and activist Chris Rufo revealed that public schools in Chicago teamed up with the Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago to promote pro-transgender curriculum and “gender-affirming” books aimed at children.

Veterinarians work with a wide variety of animals. While most pets are calm and well-tempered, they may have to deal with aggressive or mean animals. When that happens, even if it’s “just” a cute kitten, a vet will take every precaution to ensure their staff and visitors stay safe. Sometimes, that means an overabundance of caution, including warning signs. @lizuptonogood use EXTREME caution when approaching! #themostdangerousanimal #kitten #smol #russianblue ♬ original sound – David Attenborough Imagine being a cat lover, walking through your vet’s office, and seeing this poor, innocent little creature. Your first thought is to wonder what this little kitten did to cause such fear. Anyone who has ever met a kitten at this age knows that every warning sign on this cage may have merit. But it doesn’t mean we don’t want to pet their cute fuzzy little kitten face! Image from TikTok. As you’re reading the signs, the legendary voice of David Attenborough echoes through your head: “The most dangerous animal on this planet. A violent creature filled with hateful thoughts and a lust for blood. Teeth like razors to suck the meat from your bones. Yes, when all is said and done, she is a killer.” And then you see this… Image from TikTok. Your heart melts. You throw caution to the wind and open the cage door to scoop up that tiny bundle of cuteness. And screams of instant regret fill the room. This cute kitten is a tiny little terror, responding in fear with razor-like claws and needle-like teeth. While most small cats are harmless, some may violently respond to love. This little one chose violence. A Cute Kitten Is Still Cute Even After It Draws Blood If you ignore all the warning signs, please ensure you have access to an adequate supply of Band-Aids. This video reminds us of the importance of using proper precautions with all animals. While this cute kitten is totally adorable, it may be a feral rescue kitten that doesn’t interact well with humans. The vet’s office might also just have a great sense of humor!

Not the biggest fan of the hat, but that jersey though

When Janet and Stephen Boxall saw a sea turtle on Campwin Beach in Queensland, Australia, they realized this was not a species they had seen before. Months later, they learned it was an olive ridley turtle, never known to nest on Australia’s east coast despite decades of observations. In the process, they may have rescued an expansion into new territory.These are bad times for sea turtles. Besides the problems of overfishing and ocean plastics, sea turtles, whose sex is determined by the temperature at which their eggs are incubated, are particularly threatened by global heating. One thing in the shelled ones’ favor, however, is how much many humans love them – and the willingness of some beachgoers to protect their eggs and young, increasing the numbers of them that make their initial dash to the sea alive. One particularly fortunate crowd is what may be the first olive ridley turtles to hatch on Australia’s east coast for decades, perhaps longer.Sea turtles lay large clutches of eggs, but few survive to adulthood. A large portion of the problem comes among those that, for one reason or another, never make it to the sea for their first swim. Mackay and District Turtle Watch (MDTW) is made up of volunteers who try to give the green and flatback turtles that hatch on nearby beaches a better chance.“It was a series of accidental discoveries,” Janet Boxall told IFLScience. “We are two volunteers of MDTW [...] We were checking the beach for turtle tracks at 4:20 in the morning when we saw a small turtle returning to the water. We immediately noticed that it had an alternate (asymmetrical) gait, not using the breaststroke (symmetrical) action as flatbacks and greens do.”The light was too low to get a useful photograph, but the pair thought they were seeing a young loggerhead. “We were quite excited as they only rarely nest in our area,” Boxhall added. “The nest was also unusual so we assumed at first that she did not nest but only messed around in the sand. We took extensive photos of the tracks and the nest.”The Boxalls contacted a more experienced volunteer, Lynette Gallagher, who, after some searching, found an egg chamber with 90 eggs. Perhaps because the turtle was unused to the local tides, these had been laid too close to the water, and would have been drowned at the next high tide. The volunteers moved them further up the beach. A forthcoming cyclone led to a second relocation.The Boxalls then went on holiday, but Janet’s sister Shirley Sidey watched over the nest and witnessed 34 hatchlings make it to the water on their own. Knowing that some turtles lack the strength to break free from the nest, Sidey went digging and found 12 alive, still trapped. She released these into the water.An olive ridley turtle heading for the waterImage Credit: Shirley Sidey, Courtesy of Janet BoxallSidey took photographs, but when comparing them with loggerhead images online noticed a mismatch – particularly when looking at the shape of the body and the side scales. After consulting more widely, the photos eventually reached Dr Col Limpus, Australia’s leading sea turtle expert, who confirmed these were olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea), based on a combination of gait, egg size and number of side scales.This was quite a shock. Although olive ridleys are known to inhabit the waters of the Great Barrier Reef, they have never been reported nesting on Australia’s east coast. The nearest nesting site is south of Weipa on Queensland’s west coast, 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) from Campwin. Indeed, reports of nesting are rare throughout the western Pacific – the most abundant locations are in India and the Americas, each an ocean away.Finding any species so far from home would be a shock, but it is particularly unexpected for an olive ridley, a species famous for synchronizing their egg-laying so that the young will hatch together for safety.The little turtle that could.Image Credit: Shirley Sidey, Courtesy of Janet BoxallWhether this is a freak event, something that has been happening for a while without anyone noticing, or the start of an expansion of the olive ridley's range remains unknown. Volunteers up and down the coast will be watching. Had it not been for MDTW intervention, the nest would certainly have drowned, presumably snuffing out any chance of olive ridleys establishing themselves in the area.Olive ridleys are the most common sea turtle in the world, but even they are categorized as vulnerable as a result of mass exploitation off Mexico and the dangers all sea turtles face.[H/T The ABC]
