London’s Daily Mail is a sensationalist tabloid, to be sure, but as I pointed out here, the Daily Mail was the only credentialed media source that I found which exposed the fact that the Pennbrook Middle School assailant was transgender, a boy claiming to be a girl. I’ve still seen no major credentialed media sources stating that, but I’ve also seen no credentialed media sources publishing anything which have claimed that the reports that ‘Melanie,’ the (alleged) Pennbrook assailant, is ‘transgender’ are false.
And now there’s this:
Middle schoolers study in FEAR after being forced back to class with ‘troubled’ trans kid who named 45 on ‘hit list’: Boston parent says ‘they know the school is not protecting them’
Scared parent blows whistle on woke teachers who put trans rights over safety
School officials ‘treated a troubled young person as some kind of cultural token’

A whistleblower has come forward about the terror at a Massachusetts school after woke teachers let a troubled trans kid return to class after naming 45 fellow students on a menacing ‘hit list.’
The parent of a child at Watertown Middle School, in the west Boston suburbs, told DailyMail.com that students now fear for their lives, worried each day that they’ll be going home in a body bag.
Worse still, says the scared parent, school officials have silenced criticism of the trans 7th grader. Parents say they cannot talk about school safety without being accused of transphobic wrong-think.
‘The kid with a 40+ person hit list, who has faced minimal consequences and been favored at every turn, obviously has a lot of anger — and who knows what they will do,’ said the parent, on condition their name was not used.
The Toronto Sun reported:
School officials in Massachusetts reacted to a transgender student’s “hit list” of more than 40 classmates and staff by creating an LGBTQ+ affinity group and anti-bias training.
Fox affiliate WFXT in Boston reported in January that a school staff member discovered a “potentially concerning list” compiled by a student at Watertown Middle School.
“Following an investigation and in consultation with our school resource officer and the Watertown Police Department, it was determined that at no point was there a credible threat to anyone’s safety,” Watertown Public Schools Supt. Dede Galdston wrote in a statement to the station. “We are grateful to our staff for quickly assessing this situation.”
However, according to the correspondence obtained by PDE, parents had concerns about the “hit list” and were alarmed by the school district’s response to the apparent threat.
It also appears the school administrators didn’t want to disclose the gender identity of the student.
Following the meeting with the affected families, a school committee member said that “last night was incredibly painful and hard for many members of our community for a diverse set of reasons.”
Lily Rayman-Read suggested that an affinity group for “LGBTQIA+ families/community members” should be created so there would be “empathy for the creator” of the list.
“I think it would be helpful to provide that space for both students, staff and families as the kids are really not OK right now — both those on the list, and those who hold empathy for the creator (and those who have friends across all spectrums),” Rayman-Read said.
The principal’s response appeared to confirm the transgender identity of the student.
“I just spoke with our GSA (Genders and Sexualities Alliances) adviser, who is planning to support students around anti-trans and other biased behaviour. As we make our plan today, that will be included as some next steps.”
Casey Ryan, a researcher for PDE, called the actions of school officials “irresponsible” and “alarming” for not revealing the student’s gender.
Massachusetts state law might have made it difficult for school officials to respond in any other matter. Remember: Massachusetts sided with the ‘transgender’ athletes in the past, even after another male claiming to be a girl injured two female competitors in a basketball game:
The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association handbook states that a student “shall not be excluded from participation on a gender-specific sports team that is consistent with the student’s bona fide gender identity.”
The MIAA defers to the student and their school when it comes to specific gender classification; according to the handbook, a student’s eligibility to participate on a gender-specific sports team is based on either the gender listed on their birth certificate or their “bona fide gender identity.”
So, who knows? Perhaps the Watertown Middle School program will make everything sweetness and light, and the ‘transgender’ student will complete his[1]As noted in our Stylebook, in English, properly understood, the masculine subsumes the feminine. This means that, in cases in which the sex of the person to whom a pronoun refers is unknown, the … Continue reading time without any incidents. But I have yet to see where ‘hope’ is legally considered to be a viable safety program, and it seems that the Watertown schools are hoping that ‘educating’ middle school students that they shouldn’t mock or ostracize a ‘transgender’ student will actually work. Realistically, who can be more cruel than middle school students?
To me, the obvious question is: if this ‘transgender’ student acts on his so-called ‘hit list,’ and actually injures of even kills someone, who will be held responsible? Obviously the ‘transgender’ student himself, but what about the school administrators and teachers? We can easily see that a student who had a written ‘hit list’ of other kids would have been treated as a real threat if ‘transgenderism’ or possible homosexual orientation were not part of the mix, and the student removed from the regular schools. And we all know what happened when the Broward County schools chose not to refer Nikolas Cruz to law enforcement after he assaulted another student in school.
If a normal student somehow attacks the ‘transgender’ student, we all know what will happen: the assailant will be prosecuted, quite possibly with a ‘hate crime’ enhancement. But if the ‘transgender’ student attacks a normal person, it will probably be treated with kid gloves, and it shouldn’t be. If that does happen, I would hope that the injured student and his family would sue the school, the school district, and every teacher and administrator involved individually, sue them all into penury.
It’s really quite simple: crazy people are dangerous, and if someone is ‘transgendered,’ he is crazy.
