[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids’ school encouraged all students yesterday to earn SSL hours by volunteering at the Freestate Justice Name Change Clinic for LGBTQIA Maryland residents. 
I guess that it’s not religious though so that’s ok???[/quote]

Read the FAQ - kids can earn SSL hours from religious organizations.[/quote]

OP knows that. It’s been pointed out like 16 times on the thread and the written policy on SSL hours earned at Faith Based organizations has also been shared multiple times. Some people don’t want to listen to facts, they just want to claim victimhood.  Can’t argue with those people. [/quote]

I’m OP and I didn’t write the post you are referring to or many other you attribute to me.

I actually have no issue with someone getting SSL hours for working a the name change clinic.  [b]Volunteer work is volunteer work and the individual student should be able to decide what causes/activities are of interest[/b].[/quote]

I agree.  I don't care if MCPS wants to allow SSL hours to promote gender change.  But, they also should allow SSL hours to promote Judaism/Islam/Buddhism whatever.  Strange double standard.  [/quote]

Yes, I agree, and that was the point of my original post.  [/quote]

Did I miss the part where being transgender is a religion? It is not.  America has the separation of church and state.  Sorry if you feel bad that your child can’t earn SSL hours for preaching in their house of workshop that Christianity/Judaism/Islam is the one true faith, but that’s how this country was founded.   Take it up with the SSL office if you can’t accept this answer.[/quote]
