If the board goes into executive session to privately discuss personnel, some believe that the School Board will also discuss who
hired him in the first place and thought it was ok for him to wear a dress in
front of 10 year olds who were so distracted that they could not take their tests.
Superintendent John Valastro has taken heat in recent years due to high profile issues. In this case, Valastro is not over picking substitute teachers, but he did suspend the teacher following the recent complaints. I have written several articles regarding Lumberton ISD issues, from
vulgar school plays with cursing, to CSCOPE, to students wearing Muslim Burqas,
to liberal teachers wearing vote Obama shirts and telling students not to watch
Fox News. John Griffing’s WND story on the Burqa issue led to national
attention and even helped push out CSCOPE curriculum on a statewide level (although
it is still around).

I first heard about the issue when my youngest brother came
home and told me about the kids talking about a male substitute teacher that
was in a different class. This teacher was signing his name as Mrs. I thought
that was strange, but I did not realize the extent of what was going on until I
heard Chip Darby talking about the issue on freedom 1300. Apparently there was
a male teacher wearing a dress and makeup at the Lumberton Intermediate School.
The teacher’s name is Laura Jane Klug (born Kurt Klug). I looked him up on
Facebook and what I found was an emotionally disturbed and confused older
man. He has not always wanted to be a woman. According to a note he posted on his Facebook page on July 7th,
2011 titled “How Much More Can I Take?” Kurt Klug was emotionally distraught
and seemingly ready to give in with his life because of the pain of his female
wife leaving him. The pain and distraught of his wife leaving him must have
driven him to decide that he wanted to become a woman. From 2011 until now, Kurt
changed his name to Laura Jane Klug and started dressing up like a woman and
acting like a woman. He has joined many lesbian, gay and transgender pages on Facebook.
Oh, and he also likes Texas Politician Dan Branch’s page.
Let me get one thing straight, I do not hate this man, nor
am I angry at him. I feel bad for him. He was so hurt and emotionally
distraught that he was driven to wanting a radical change. He seems like he was
and maybe still is a Christian, but he is certainly hurting and has lost his
way. We all have issues and this is his issue.
That being said, a school house with young, impressionable,
easily distracted and easily confused children is not the place for this man to
be. The school has very strict dress codes and boys cannot even have long hair.
The environment is controlled to minimize distractions so that the students can
learn. Like it or not, a transvestite is a distraction. Not only that, he frightened
and confused many students who then went home to their parents who had to have
age inappropriate conversations with their children.
Roger Beard, whose son was in the class Klug was subbing, is
an outspoken parent who talked to the local Channel 12 News about this issue.
He said what concerns him is the distraction he believes a transgender teacher
poses to ten and eleven year old children.
"If it does affect my child and his ability to learn or
if it causes questions that I don't feel are appropriate then undoubtedly
there's an issue with having somebody transgender, transsexual or transvestite,
to be teaching that age group," Beard said.
Sheli Jones Wells also had a child in the class and she
posted this comment on Facebook about the situation, “I did have to explain to
my daughter what transgender was last Thursday afternoon because it was her
home room class he was in. I was none to happy to venture down that road with
my 11 year old. Judge? No. But do I have reservations about WHY this person
wants to be in our schools for $60 a day, you better believe it.”
I wanted to hear what others in Lumberton had to say, that is
when I took to Facebook to see what I could find out from friends who work at
or have students at the Intermediate School.
The response I got was overwhelming.
Below are screenshots of what I posted on Facebook, and some
of the responses that I got:
There r supporters of this whatever it is. but that is just the usual ones who wants media attention. cant believe it was hired. call thing it since it doesn't know what gender it is
ReplyDeleteLol seems you left out the comments on Mr. Bellow's post, including mine, where we were in complete disagreement with him for being the judgmental freaking prick that he is. Thanks so much for that.
ReplyDeleteIf HE is a good teacher and properly dressed than leave him alone...if he isn't pushing his sexuality then what does it matter...you small town people are so judemental and closed minded...yes maybe the class was to young to understand...but this is the world that WE ALL CREATED!!!! They will be exposed... And you wonder why so many young people commit suicide!!! THIS IS A FORM OF BULLYING!!! hope it helps you sleep at night to take someone's rights away and embarrass them publicly!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that everyone is so concerned about the education of the children, and them being so distracted that they can't learn and take tests, etc. etc. Like THAT'S the big issue. You're bigots and don't like things that are different. Just go ahead and say it, we all know it anyway. You look less like hypocrites when you just admit your shortcomings. Substitute teachers are glorified babysitters. They hand out busywork, and prevent your heathen children from killing each other for eight hours. That's it. If you're so concerned about your childrens' educations, your first step should be to send them to school somewhere other than Texas.
