UK Catholic Girls School Tells Students to Use Transgender Pronouns
A parent has voiced outrage after a Catholic girls school in the United Kingdom told parents that students are expected to use the preferred pronouns and names of transgender classmates. According to the Catholic Herald, the headteacher at Sacred Heart High School in Hammersmith sent a letter home to parents, explaining that “as a Catholic school” it must “promote greater wholeness for transgender individuals.”
In order to do so, headteacher Marian Doyle told the parents that students should make transgender classmates more comfortable by “using the young person’s preferred pronoun and addressing them with their preferred name, recognizing their intent to live as the person they believe God created them to be, and refraining from any judgment.”

Sacred Heart High School in Hammersmith
A parent has voiced outrage after a Catholic girls school in the United Kingdom told parents that students are expected to use the preferred pronouns and names of transgender classmates.

According to the Catholic Herald, the headteacher at Sacred Heart High School in Hammersmith sent a letter home to parents, explaining that "as a Catholic school" it must "promote greater wholeness for transgender individuals."

In order to do so, headteacher Marian Doyle told the parents that students should make transgender classmates more comfortable by "using the young person's preferred pronoun and addressing them with their preferred name, recognising their intent to live as the person they believe God created them to be, and refraining from any judgement."

Additionally, Doyle's letter cites the Equality Act 2010 to state that schools are required to "eliminate discrimination." It also notes that a Department of Education guidance requires schools to help prevent discrimination against kids undergoing "gender reassignment."
Doyle confirmed sending the letter in an interview with the Catholic Herald, saying that it is "part of a lengthy process of consultation within and beyond the school."

"Our community not only has a duty to uphold and maintain its charism but also to operate within the law, and as a Catholic school we must look to ensure we respond to different situations for young people, whatever they may be, with compassion, dignity and respect," she told the news outlet. "In this, we seek the guidance of Jesus' teachings in the gospels to support us in our response."

A parent, who chose to remain nameless, told the Catholic Herald that the letter she received from the Catholic school head was "dangerous."

"If the letter the headteacher sent out materialises as policy and practices, it will be very confusing for the young people at the school," the parent said. "I see it as a very dangerous letter."

Sacred Heart's decision comes as The Catholic Education Service, an agency of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, released a controversial e-booklet, titled "Made in God's Image: Challenging Homophobic and Biphobic Bullying in Catholic Schools," earlier this year,.

Critics have claimed that the document fails to explain the Catholic Church's teaching on sexuality and have also accused the document of lifting language published by LGBT advocacy organizations.

"One of the biggest problems with the guidance is that it undermines the moral authority of parents," Dr. Tom Rogers of the conservative organization Safe at School said in a statement. "The document gives several examples of interactions between children and parents where children are encouraged to see the parents as being 'homophobic.'"

Conservative Catholics are also speaking out against Pope Francis' new education book, Learning to Learn: Reflections on Education Issues, because its preface was written by Italian Education Minister Valeria Fedeli who pushed for gender theory to be taught in schools.

The Catholic Herald also reported that schools in the U.K. are facing added pressure to comply with the government's "British values" program.

It was reported earlier this year that a Jewish school failed its third inspection because it did not teach students about LGBT concepts such as sexual orientation and did not give pupils "a full understanding of fundamental British values."

California Law Includes Jail Time for Using Wrong Pronoun for Transgenders
A California pro-family leader warns a new law intended to protect the rights of LGBT Seniors “will force all California long-term care facilities to submit to the tyrannical transsexual agenda, without limit.” California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Wednesday a “bill of rights” that backers say will help protect LGBT seniors from discrimination or mistreatment in long-term care facilities by strengthening protections against discrimination. But under the new law, care workers and facilities could face fines or
even jail if they don’t address a transsexual patient by their desired gender. “SB219 gives the state new power to determine what is wrong speech and what is right speech,” Randy Thomasson of SaveCalfornia.com told CBN News. “The punishment can be stiff fines or jail time. The state of California has thrown land mines over these care homes and people are going to step on them.”

'Transsexual Takeover': California Law Includes Jail Time for Using Wrong Pronoun for Transgenders

A California pro-family leader warns a new law intended to protect the rights of LGBT Seniors "will force all California long-term care facilities to submit to the tyrannical transsexual agenda, without limit."

California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Wednesday a "bill of rights" that backers say will help protect LGBT seniors from discrimination or mistreatment in long-term care facilities by strengthening protections against discrimination.

But under the new law, care workers and facilities could face fines or even jail if they don't address a transsexual patient by their desired gender.

"SB219 gives the state new power to determine what is wrong speech and what is right speech," Randy Thomasson of SaveCalfornia.com told CBN News. "The punishment can be stiff fines or jail time. The state of California has thrown land mines over these care homes and people are going to step on them."

Thomasson says care facilities will also not be able to move or evict a transsexual resident for acting out their transsexual behavior, even if other residents are disturbed by it. He also says that care workers will be forced to "dress up a biological man, if he demands it, in bra, panties, and women's clothes...women's earrings and necklaces and panty hose and women's shoes, and being forced to apply make-up, eyeliner, and lipstick."

Care homes that fail to comply with the new law could incur a fine of up to $150,000 or lose their license.

"The only way it can be defeated," Thomasson says, "is for the Supreme Court of the United States to overturn it as an abridgement of the First Amendment."
