The Loudoun County school board is the poster child for really bad policy. They allowed a guy in a skirt to rape a girl and get away with it, just transferring him to another school where he did it again. Their policy about allowing students who ‘identify’ as the opposite sex into the bathroom of their choice is the problem. But they’d rather sacrifice children and vilify and arrest parents who complain.
But now the children are speaking out. They aren’t comfortable, either sex, with girls in the boys’ room and vice versa. They aren’t using the facilities because they don’t know who is going to come in.
Students at Woodgrove High School in Virginia held a walkout to protest the district’s policy on transgender bathrooms.7News
Another male student told WJLA: “I would like to be able when I get off football practice and go put my pads away and change not feel uncomfortable with other genders in there watching me.”
He added: “I feel that girls feel the same way about the situation. How would you feel if you were a female changing with a male?”
A female student said she stopped using the bathroom because of the policy, calling it a “massive safety risk” that the district doesn’t “do anything about.”
“We express these concerns and they ignore us and write us off as right-wing crazies,” she told WJLA.
The school board says that they are following its ‘established procedures’ to review the policy. Which is admin-speak for drawing it out as much as possible and hope that the protestors graduate before they have to take any action.
