Batavia, Illinois K-12 School District Celebrates “Trans” Superstition

Early on Thursday morning, March 12, 2026, Batavia School District 101 chose to leap with both feet into the turbulent cultural waters by celebrating leftist views on both homosexuality and the “trans” superstition that denies the meaning of physical embodiment as male or female.

For Women’s History Month, some ignorant activist or activists decided to honor “Sarah” McBride—formerly known as Tim—the crossdressing man who serves in Congress.

For those who are blissfully unaware of Mr. McBride, he is a 35-year-old man who pretends to be a woman and who was married for four days to a woman who pretended to be a man. McBride’s wife, “Andrew (Andy)” Cray, formerly Amanda, was a “trans” activist who died four days after their wedding at age 28 from oral cancer.

Batavia School District 101 posted this:

Sarah McBride was born on August 9th, 1990, in Wilmington, Delaware. At a young age, she became interested in politics and government. McBride eventually ran for the state senate and won, making her the first openly transgender person elected to the United States Senate. She was also the first transgender person to address a major party convention, speaking at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. McBride was instrumental in lobbying the Delaware state legislature in 2013 to pass a law that prohibited discrimination based on gender identity. McBride went on to work as national press secretary for Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization. Today, she continues to fight for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community, as well as writing several books!

Whoever wrote this glowing post emphasized his, or her, or zir jubilance over Mr. McBride’s pernicious work with a childishly enthusiastic exclamation point.

Whoever wrote and approved this post used public funds to take a side in a contentious public debate.

By the way, when leftists refer to “LGBTQ+” rights, they really mean the right of homosexuals and crossdressers to redefine marriage, to deny children their right to a mother and father, to eradicate all public recognition of sex differences, and to censor the expression of ideas they hate.

So far, Batavia has honored only one other woman: astronaut Mae Jamison. No celebration of the work of Amy Coney Barrett, Condoleezza Rice, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Phyllis Schlafly, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Flannery O’Connor, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Elizabeth Blackwell, Ann Judson, Lottie Moon, Elisabeth Elliot, Fanny Crosby, Emma Dryer, Joni Eareckson Tada, Clara Barton, or Riley Gaines. Surely, they aren’t more controversial than McBride. And unlike McBride, they are all actually women.

Through this post, Batavia School District 101 has embraced and promoted a controversial superstition that is damaging the lives, bodies, sports, and safety of women and insulted women at the same time.

While gender dysphoria is a real mental illness, the belief that boys, girls, women, or men can be “born in the wrong body” is a superstition. The belief that there is some sort of immaterial being trapped inside the wrong material body—that is, a gendered ghost inside the wrong machine—is a Gnostic superstition for which there is no proof. And yet, asinine activists at Batavia School District 101 were permitted to use their publicly subsidized time and resources to promote it.

In so doing, Batavia School District 101 just might have jeopardized federal funding. President Trump’s Executive Order “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling” says,

[The Secretaries shall] recommend an Ending Indoctrination Strategy … [that shall] address each agency’s process to prevent or rescind Federal funds, to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, from any entity that receives Federal funds for K-12 education that directly or indirectly supports or subsidizes the instruction, advancement, or promotion of gender ideology. (emphasis added)

Batavia taxpayers need to get to the bottom of this outrageous action. They must demand to know whose idea this was and who approved it. Public schools regularly conceal the identities of those who are using their taxpayer-funded jobs to promote controversial leftist ideas. That must stop.
