Timberlake Christian School’s principal recently told the child’s great-grandparents, who have custody, that they should find another school unless they understand that “God has made her female and her dress and behavior need to follow suit with her God-ordained identity.”
The family transferred the child to public school. Carroll Thompson of Forest, Va., says his great-granddaughter is a tomboy but is being labeled as something else by Timberlake officials.
Doris Thompson says her great-granddaughter knows she is a girl and has never, to her knowledge, wished she were a boy.
Representatives of the Christian school say there’s more to the story, but they can’t be specific because of confidentiality laws.
