Y1 Teacher comes back from spring break a new person, literally.

How would you feel if you went away for spring break, and one of your teachers came back into the classroom as a different gender? Well, that’s what one teacher at a California High school will be doing. The teacher, Gary Sconce, told the district that he will be returning to the school as his true self. He will be going by the name of Karen Adell Scot. Parents of students at a California high school are reacting to news that a long-time male high school science teacher is going to return after spring break as a woman. "When you aren't who you really are, it's like being smothered. It's like being rolled in a wave, if you've ever been rolled in a wave in the ocean where you can't find your way up, you don't know which direction you've been turned," Scot told the station. He is 56 years old—a husband, a father, and an award-winning teacher who has been educating for 24 years. FOX News said, “School district Superintendent James Sargent announced that Sconce was "in the midst of gender transition" in a March 19 letter to the parents of all 650 students at Yosemite High, the Fresno Bee reported.” One community resident was extremely opposed to the gender transition. She wrote on the Bee that, "I see this as an assault on the minds and morals of our children. It blurs the lines of what is right and wrong.” Scot is trying to handle this situation as gently as possible. FOX News states, “The paper quoted Scot as saying that kind of intolerance is what causes many transgendered people to commit suicide, or become victims of violence or murder. Scot said he won't be ‘pushing any social agenda" with students and will continue to "run a conservative and disciplined class.’” No one is reporting how the current students are responding to the situation. Some of the parents are pulling their kids out of the class, though. Former students are appalled and are not quite sure how to react. The staff is feeling a little bit uncomfortable, but most of them are very understanding of the situation. This opens up a case for tolerance and causes traditional values to compete with the ever changing society.
