Video: Courageous Parent Takes on Tea Partiers' Bigotry Against 4th Grade Transgender Student

See below for just a few of the ignorant, bigoted remarks by Tea Partiers sporting "Save Our Schools" stickers Tuesday night in Stafford County, Virginia. For the videos and more, see http://bluevirginia.us/diary/13086/video-courageous-parent-takes-on-tea-partiers-bigotry-against-4th-grade-transgender-student

*"Boys should dress as boys and girls as girls, or at LEAST dress gender neutral."

*"You're...inviting...bullying, rape, sodomization, and god forbid anything worse...and possibly leading to death as a medical concern on the other end."

*"What law are we talking about? Is this a federal law that our Congress passed? Or is this just something that Eric Holder, our Attorney General, happened to decree. I would like to know. We are a nation of laws....If it is from Eric Holder, I would like to remind you, this is the only Attorney General who has been held in contempt of Congress."

*"First of all, our Pledge of Allegiance states that we are one nation under god, but we have ignored that word 'under.' Indeed, we are under god's command. And yes, we are guaranteed the liberty to do god's will. But when we abuse our liberty and transgress from god's command, we sin - and yes I said the word 'sin' - and sin is not a civil right. Martin Luther King...would be rolling over in his grave at this abomination to defy god and bring sin...into the same footing as human rights."
