Transgender, to be or not to be king.

In Muskegon Michigans Mona Shore High school there seems to be a problem. If you are unaware of it you can go to WWW.woodtv.com and see the story. In short, A girl who wants to be a boy was voted homecoming King, but the school disqualified her because she is not yet a boy and is still a girl. Yes, we are talking about transgender. I really don't have an opinion on transgender, how they got the way they are, how they have surgeries to change, or if it is a curse from God or the devil. People who are much smarter then I can debate that. I applaud the students for standing behind a fellow student who feels that they are being discriminated against. I will continue to pray for this student and hope that answers can be found. With that said, both sides are wrong.
(1) The competition for Homecoming King and Queen clearly state that that the King is to be a boy and the Queen has to be a girl. No matter how many votes he got, he is still a she. This obstacle should have been changed before. You can't change the rules after the game has started.
(2) According to published reports, the school let this girl become a boy by allowing her to dress and participate in activities as a boy. In short they hoped it would go away if they ignored it. Now they are sending mixed signals to the students who are now confused. They, the school, uses rules when it best affects them and thus become politically correct when they want. Not all rules effect all people equally. Our legal system show us how to twist the law, our politician show us how to lie and still call it the truth, and our schools teach our children that life is not fair and money and popularity is most important.
My suggestion is to cancel the Homecoming King a Queen and leave the thrones empty. What a better way to protest. Change the requirement for next year leaving this year as the year that no one won. That would be a bigger statement.

I like your new blog title. Let the whole world sing. Does that include the ones that are tone-deaf?
