Aug 2, 2005   New Jersey Teacher Has Sex Change Surgery The 41-year-old has undergone gender reassignment surgery. (AP) NEW YORK Teacher Herb McCaffrey left Mountain View Middle School in Mendham as a man and will return as Kerri McCaffrey, a woman. The 41-year-old has undergone gender reassignment surgery. The language arts teacher tells The Star-Ledger of Newark he’s dedicated his life to being a good influence on children. Some parents and teachers have accepted McCaffrey’s decision. But others are concerned about whether middle school-age children should have to deal with such issues. Parent Caren Cusano tells the newspaper she contacted McCaffrey through e-mail to applaud her choice and asked for Web sites to help explain it to her children. Mother Anna Seavey says she has not yet told her kids. Eighth-grader Rebecca Tishman tells the newspaper she thinks it’s fine and is sorry the teacher was confused for so long. http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_214082036.html Back To Guvment Skool Page 8 COPYRIGHT "DUHMAG.COM" 2005
