Has he ever been a teacher? Does he have any kind of education training... so to be actually knowledgeable about it? If not, I suspect he is like a lot of other "know-it-alls" someone that thinks they can do another's job better and wants power to control others, not one that actually cares about education or children.

So it appears. He is/never has been a teacher.

So basically a reactive religious Republican politician wannabe dying to ban some books, sex ed, trans kids, and push abstinence curriculum. Rural NY high schools do have gay kids enrolled and they deserve our protection and the same constitutional rights as all citizens.

The very tragic story of Jazz Jennings whose mother forced him at 6 years old to transition for the money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRj5ypF0Lp4 Clearly, as happy as he would like the public to believe he is, he's not. OO says it is not what you're eating that's the problem, it's what's eating you. He has gained over 100 lbs.

Has anyone here ever seen a picture of a young de-transitioning girl with an armpit to armpit scar because she had her breasts removed. Someone who will never be able to have children? If you don't look at it, you are in denial.

The video below, and I have listened to 100s, is the first time I heard someone else say what I have noticed. It's vulnerable mothers pushing transgenderism. Why? Because they are being told that if their child doesn't transition they will kill themselves.

-- I heard a mother bragging about her trans child, she wore it like a badge of honor. I was alarmed. It caused me to increasingly notice that it is mothers falling for the evils of transgenderism. Where are the dads? I've been to public meetings on this issue - no dads. I'd like to know the statistics on single mothers with trans kids.

In Vermont, it hit the news this week, that the largest school district, will no long call boys, boys and girls, girls starting with kindergarten. They are proposing - people who produce sperms and eggs. Imagine what that's going to do to their mental health.

Our governor, most popular in the country came out against it. I went to a regularly scheduled meeting this week of parents in that district who are deeply concerned, to put it mildly, about what's going on in their schools. There were over 150 people in the room. You can blow them off as idiots but, they are not.

I wonder most about how this trans thing got started. I've heard it started with the UN. I'll have do to my own research on that. But, I don't find it hard to believe that there exists a Treaty of Children's Rights that came out of the UN. It states that "children" is a constructed social concept" "it denies children sex'.

Mr. Doolittle, you say you've never heard of Matt Walsh, one of the most prolific and nastiest anti-trans podcasters. His rhetoric does go too far. I'm certainly not promoting him. I've cringed at some of what he says. But, what does that say? Have you done any research on the subject yourself?

But, that not my point. It is again, as I've tried to make here before and got clobbered for - that if you aren't listening de-transistors, you are too unaware of the truth. Incredibly, for too many, this is nothing more than a political issue. Tragic.

I won't be getting into it again with anyone on this post. Don't waste your time. I will not even open your post. I'm not here to play games.

Transgender and body dysmorphia has existed as long as life has. I have to ask you if you know even one transgender human personally. I am confident that you do not or you would understand, instead of condemning what you cannot seem to understand. What you do not know is clear in your post.

This is not a game. These are people’s lives.

Most children don’t fully transition with surgery. Most simply change their attire. Some kids just like to wear non gender conforming clothes, while maintaining their gender identity. It’s complex. The point is, it is between the child and the parent how they deal with it. You don’t get to bully kids to make yourself more comfortable.

Hello Sophia. So, you’re interested in how a person whose gender identity does not correspond with the sex registered for them at birth came into existence or as you write “I (you) wonder most about how this trans thing got started”

That may be the lie you tell yourself, but it not the reality. You have no interest in learning anything beyond what you already believe to be true. How do I know, it’s simply it’s in what you write!

You could prove me wrong, but we will never know, since you won’t be reading this.

Why do you refuse to refer to Jazz as a she?

Surely you know someone in real life that’s transgender or has a transgender child. I know many, including my sister’s child who at 14 is struggling with gender identity. I admittedly still struggle with what to call them. She is identifying as a he. It’s hard to think of him as anything other than my beautiful niece. But he’s not doing anything hormonal- as a family they’ve discussed no medical intervention until he’s 18 years old. I suspect this is the reality in most families. The last thing mothers want to do is rush their children through any major medical procedures. Who could possibly want that? No one I know. This only happens in your sick fantasies or carefully edited YouTube clips. Leave families alone to figure this out but show them some respect, empathy and compassion in the process. You’re not “protecting children,” you’re hurting families.

Thank you for this. I have three grandchildren in the South Glens Falls district. And I am sure their parents do not support intolerance.

Thank you, Will, for bringing this candidate’s public postings to light for the community in and around South Glens Falls. I live in Argyle, where a public email discussion has brought an obscene Biden flag to residents’ attention. Martin Niemoller said: “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist. then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.” It is past time for people of good will to speak out. They are coming for us.

Thank you Will for writing this article about Chris Music. This is a nationwide campaign to cripple our public school system and democracy in general. If you're not happy with the school policies regarding acceptance, bullying and empathy and would like religion taught in your school then I suggest you send your children to a parochial school or home school them. I agree with Doris Nichols. it's time for good people (the majority) to start making more noise than these intolerant, ignorant and cruel (the minority) types. They are coming and they are closer than we think.

To care about education is not the same as simply having opinions about it. And neither by itself qualifies a responsible board Member. Mr. Music has plenty of opinions, I guess, to which he is entitled. Maybe he cares; hard to tell. Would he care enough to spend a couple -- 2,3,4,5,-- days a month studying and researching issues on the boards agenda? Does he care enog to tell voters what he's thinking?

Thank you for discussing this. I have seen the comments on FB enough to unfollow his page. I for one know who I am not voting for.

He refers to parents of transgender people as groomers and child abusers.

He also believes bullying builds character and is a natural way to behave...makes you stronger and helps you grow as a person.

I've been tracking this guy's online presence for awhile.

Pure hate and he's obsessed with the transgender community.

He is a sub in the SGF school district.

He also is a fan of book banning.

This time it's in MY backyard and I won't take his hateful rhetoric.

Get out and vote SGF.

VOTE NO TO HATE.

He clearly admits that he wants to control the rights of other parents who may disagree with his personal opinions. He believes only his “moral values” are relevant. Parental rights indeed; not unless they agree with his narrow mindedness.

The danger to SGF schools comes from those who subscribe to Mr. Music's beliefs. Thanks for this, Will. He won't inform us, but you have.

Thanks Will for exposing what aspiring candidates for public office often camouflage in their messaging to attract like-minded voters and avoid overtly antagonizing others. Unfortunately, voters often find out too late what candidates really think and stand for. Thanks again.

Interesting, Jazz's mother transitioned him at 6 years old and created a social media platform to make money doing it. It is a deeply tragic story and the most important part of my post to you, is that I call him he. Mindboggling. I am not going to fuel the trans madness. As much as Jazz will deny it, he is suffering and his 100-lb weight gain is proof. Like Dylan Mulvaney, I see a psychological crash in their future. Only time will tell.

Are you aware that 80% of transistioners are GIRLS? Sounds to me like a very tragic social contagion. Why aren't girls loving themselves? That's where the focus should be, not on pronouns.

Is the dad in your niece's life? How many father's do you know are going along with this madness?

Do your own research, particularly on de-transistioners.

'Feelings' ha. All a kid has to do is say, I FEEL like a girl/boy call me.... It's nuts. This isn't about feelings it's about mental illness on some level. These kids are suffering for sure.

Leave families alone.... No, who/whatever is behind this insanity has intentionally created a culture war and children are the battleground. If they didn't want to obliterate culture as it exists, why not just use the language that says just trans, not boy or girl, and whatever name of their choosing. Why go after women's sports? Something evil is going on.

Like I said, there exists in the United Nations a "Treaty of Children's Right" that states that 'children is a socially constructed concept...' It denies children sex. Why all of a sudden drags in children's spaces? Maybe not as vulgar as in adult spaces but, it is early indoctrination. Like 'gender is a socially constructed concept...' More people need to question rather than just accept because it makes them look like a nice, kind, empathic, compassionate person. Not my style.

I am absolutely speaking on behalf of children. If families are hurt, it is not my doing.

And, I am fighting the trans mob that seeks to silence everyone who opposes transgenderism. Parents too ought to be fighting the trans mob.

This is how right wingers operate. They seem so reasonable and then reveal their true intentions once in office. Voters need to be aware.
