(SRN NEWS) – The New Hampshire Supreme Court has upheld a school district’s policy aimed at barring parents from being informed if their child is living as the opposite sex at school. In a 3-to-1 opinion, the court upheld a lower court’s dismissal of a lawsuit filed by the mother of a Manchester School District student. She sued after inadvertently discovering that teachers were helping her child live as the opposite sex during school hours. The court says that the plaintiff failed to show that the school policy infringes on a fundamental parenting right.
Lawmakers in Massachusetts have passed a bill that would promote the LGBT agenda in the state’s nursing homes and long-term care facilities. The measure would require those institutions to provide staff training on the rights of LGBTQ adults and those living with HIV. It would also bar staff from discriminating based on a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, intersex status or HIV status. Any nursing home that does not comply will have its license to operate revoked.
Sweet Briar College in Virginia has instituted an admissions policy that bars males from enrolling in the women-only school. The decision makes the private liberal arts school an outlier among the nation’s diminishing number of women’s colleges, most of whom have embraced transgenderism. Sweet Briar officials say their decision stems from the will of its founder who died in 1900. The school says the document requires it to be “a place of girls and young women” and must be interpreted as it was understood back then.
October is Pastor Appreciation Month and the National Association of Evangelicals is already gearing up. The organization is putting out ideas for how congregations can express gratitude to their clergymen at a time when those men are under more stress than ever. NAE spokesman Brian Kluth says “Many Christians don’t realize how difficult and demanding it is to be a pastor. They often face conflict and criticism while serving their church 50 to 70 hours per week. The NAE’s “Bless Your Pastor” program now involves thousands of congregations across the U.S.
