A harmless video being shown to elementary school children in California to teach respect for cross-dressers is outraging the right-wing media. O'Reilly and his republican strategist guest Margaret Hoover are saying its "inappropriate" to teach about cross dressing and that this is a "small segment of the population that's not worth discussing".
He claims that this video is tantamount to "social engineering" and that "they have a lot of power" ratcheting up fears that the gay and transgender community are trying to infiltrate schools with a queer agenda.
Tell Bill O'Reilly to stop his "culture war" against LGBT Americans:

Bill O'Reilly Mocks Genderqueer Mayor in Oregon
Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly has long been an outspoken conservative who maintains anti-gay and transphobic viewpoints. In his latest segment he invites Megyn Kelly to discuss and ridicule Silverton, Oregon mayor Stu Rasmussen who identifies as a heterosexual transgender male for violating the city dress code in front of a presentation in front of children. The mayor fits the bill of someone who is genderqueer, preferring male pronouns, and female attire.
The segment below shows the discussion between O'Reilly and Kelly.
O'Reilly says "it's so bizarre" in referring to the story and calls Oregon a "secular progressive heaven with left-wing loons like Stu."
O'Reilly chuckles at the story, and acts surprised that "Stu has a girlfriend"
He ends with the question "do children need to be protected from the likes of Stu?"
O'Reilly acted immature and transphobic throughout the program. We do applaud Megan Kelly for not stooping down to his level and saying that "transgender people are part of society, and they are not bad people, and that people need to learn about them."
Email Bill O'Reilly and tell him to be ashamed for mocking Mayor Rasmussen.
Email Megyn Kelly to thank her for standing up for transgender people.
