School Closes After Facebook Parent Threaten To Castrate Transgender 12-Year-Old Girl With Knife

https://www.newsweek.com/oklahoma-school-closes-because-parents-started-abusing-transgender-student-1073109

An Oklahoma school has been temporarily closed after a group of parents hurled abuse at a transgender student on Facebook.

Twelve-year-old “Maddie” (not her real name) has identified as a girl since 2016. She had previously used the staff bathroom, but following renovations she struggled to find it and instead used the girls' facilities.

Through Facebook, the “Achille ISD Parent Group” discussed Maddie using the girls' toilets and quickly degenerated into violence and abuse. According to Think Progress, one member wrote: “This is terrible!! Y’all have great kids and a lil half baked maggot is causing them probs. We feel 4 y’all.”

The comments eventually turned to physical threats. “If he wants to be female make him a female. A good sharp knife will do the job really quick,” someone wrote. “Just tell the kids to kick ass in the bathroom and it won’t want to come back!!!” another person wrote.

And not for the first time in young Maddie's life. I'll say it again, those "adults" who made threats should have been arrested.
