Mentally ill parents causing a stir in North Carolina

Parents of a transgender kindergartner are waging a campaign to pressure the Buncombe County School Board into establishing special protections for their child and other transgender students.
The Citizen-Times is shielding the identity of the parents who claim their 6-year-old daughter Emma faced discrimination by a teacher as a kindergartner at Glen Arden Elementary School last year.
Emma was initially enrolled as Colton, as she was born a boy, but parents Amy and Kevin told school officials the child is transgender and asked staff to treat Emma as a girl.
The parents allege Emma’s teacher blocked her from the girls’ restroom and caused the child to urinate on herself on at least one occasion. A teacher at the school also insisted on treating Emma as a boy, they said.

This kind of shite infuriates me.
I guarantee these same type of parents would accost others for pushing religion on their kids.
It's pure hypocrisy.

I hate the idea of removing a kid from their parents, but I can make exceptions.

I will never understand how this is determined at 6 years old.

Child needs to be taken into protective custody.

That's because Emma is a boy.

I don't really care what adults do, as long as it doesn't infringe on my rights. But this shite they are pulling with children is ridiculous.
This kid is going to hate his parents one day.

Also, apparently that's the transgender flag in the picture. I didn't realize they had one, but now I do and will consider anyone waving or flying it as beneath me.

I hate how the articles always use the preferred pronoun.

These parents are idiots.
I would say that they are doing more harm than help for their child by using her to attempt to publicly leverage the school district. Especially considering they enrolled her in a charter school.
Not every school is the right fit for every child.

Stop promoting mental illness then.
