My Fox DCParents of students at a California high school are reacting to news that a long-time male high school science teacher is going to return after spring break as a woman.
The teacher, Gary Sconce, informed the Yosemite School District that he will be back in the classroom April 22 as his “true self,” a woman by the name of Karen Adell Scot, KFSN-TV
reported Thursday.
“When you aren’t who you really are, it’s like being smothered. It’s like being rolled in a wave, if you’ve ever been rolled in a wave in the ocean where you can’t find your way up, you don’t know which direction you’ve been turned,” Scot told the station.
The 56-year-old husband, father and award-winning teacher came out to his family last April. Since then he has been undergoing hormone replacement therapy to transition to the person he says he is intended to be. He has been a teacher for 24 years
School district Superintendent James Sargent announced that Sconce was “in the midst of gender transition” in a March 19 letter to the parents of all 650 students at Yosemite High, the Fresno Bee reported.
“We are committed to facilitating this in a sensitive way to all concerned,” superintendent James Sargent said in the letter posted on the Bee website.
The Bee said the gender change has caused many reactions. It said in a letter to a weekly newspaper, community resident Kathi Bales was strongly opposed. “I see this as an assault on the minds and morals of our children. It blurs the lines of what is right and wrong,” she wrote.
The paper quoted Scot as saying that kind of intolerance is what causes many transgendered people to commit suicide, or become victims of violence or murder. Scot said he won’t be “pushing any social agenda” with students and will continue to “run a conservative and disciplined class.”
KFSN said news of the gender change is causing all sorts of reaction from the community, including from some of Sconce’s former students.
“Some parents are pulling their kids out of classes and things like that, and some of the staff is uncomfortable, which I don’t understand because if you work with someone that long, they’re not a different person, they’re the same person just a different gender now,” Natalie Choin told the station.
Jeffrey Turro added, “My feeling is if they come out and bring a community engagement and bring out community kids to discuss it, maybe bring out psychologists to discuss the changes you go through and why someone goes through that, it might be easier on the community up here.”

“The paper quoted Scot as saying that kind of intolerance is what causes many transgendered people to commit suicide….”
No. What causes many transgender people to commit suicide is the sex change operation itself, and that’s why many hospitals stopped doing the surgery long ago.
These days they’re probably all performing the surgery again because they’re only interested in profits rather than the health of their patients, but this surgery was halted by many hospitals because the patients almost always suffered severe depression after having themselves altered.
Look at the freak in the picture. It doesn’t look like a woman. It looks like a man with make-up, and the fact that he has his penis removed doesn’t change the fact that he’s male.
What kind of love life will he enjoy now? Straight males won’t go near him, and gay males don’t like girls, so this idiot is left in a sexual limbo that will undoubtedly insure that no other human, gay or straight, will go anywhere near him.
And of course, the school kids will make endless jokes about him, and pay him no respect whatsoever, so my guess is that this is another “transgender suicide” in the making.
Man-O-Man, how could any parent or school allow someone like this even be alowed anywhere around school kids or even a school.
I don`t get it.
This guy is obviously confused big time.
Anyone who sends their kid(s) to gov’t school does not love their kids.
Wonder what brand of Big Pharma concoctions this loser’s been on, and for how many years.
