One Parent Expresses Opposition To Teacher Who Used To Be Man
EAGLESWOOD TOWNSHIP, N.J. — To the students at Eagleswood Elementary School, she used to be Mr. McBeth.
Now, after undergoing a sex change, 71-year-old Lily McBeth is ready to return to teaching.
Despite criticism from leery parents, the Board of Education on Monday stood by its decision to allow McBeth to resume working as a substitute teacher — “Miss McBeth.”
After two hours of spirited public debate and a short private meeting with McBeth and her lawyer, the five-member school board took no action on calls by several parents to bar McBeth from returning to the school where she taught for five years before becoming a woman.
