I mentioned in a different post, the walk-out of students in Pennsylvania regarding a policy passed by the school board that allowed students to use the locker rooms and restrooms of their stated gender.
Well, that school district has reversed their policy because of that protest. Interestingly enough, the vote was 5-4 (the same as the vote implementing the policy). So one person changed their mind. But it was enough.
Compare and contrast with a school in Illinois. They implemented a policy allowing students to use the locker and rest rooms of their stated gender. If other students were uncomfortable with that, then they could use the restroom in the nurses’ office.
And the line was out the door and down the hall. Because most students were uncomfortable with it. While not a formal protest, I’d think that any aware person would understand that the majority of the students were not on board with this new policy. Combine this with the fact that students only had certain times to use a specific restroom then of course, lines would form.
So the district is investigating all of the students who chose to use the alternate bathroom for ‘harassing’ the ‘trans’ students (how avoiding someone is harassing them, I have no idea). And they are giving them tardy slips or are missing classes due to the length of the line. So they are affecting the students’ permanent records. I’d call that harassment.
Parents Defending Education is on the case so we’ll see what happens.
