Carl Trueman posts a letter he sent to his local Pennsylvania public school system, objecting to its plans to renovate its policies to make them more transgender-friendly. Excerpts:

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Saying the turn of events will greatly benefit the 17-year-old’s economic security, sources confirmed Friday that local high school senior Emily Harrison’s failure to get into the University of Southern California, a private academic institution, will be the single most financially responsible act of her entire life.

Three first grade elementary students from Anchorage, Alaska have been suspended for allegedly planning a scheme to poison and kill a classmate. ABC News reports: School officials said they found out about the alleged plan only after other students overheard them talking about it. “We’re grateful that we had students come forward and share their concern,” said Ed Graff, Superintendent with the Anchorage School District. According to police, the young girls planned to take silica gel preservation packets from their lunchtime food bags and put them into another student’s lunch.

A system that piles debt on students in exchange for a marginal or even zero-return on their investment is morally and financially bankrupt.
