“We do not want to impose in our schools, beginning with the primary level, the anomaly that results in decline and extinction, and to impose upon them, in accordance with their claims, that there is any third gender aside from women and men, or to suggest that they undergo sex change operations,” he continued. Are these things what we want for our nation and our kids? We oppose the idea of each of these things. Our future will be different to us.
