ARCADIA, CA, July 26, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pro-family leaders reacted with stunned disbelief this week to the news of a settlement in the case of a Southern California girl whose parents filed a federal civil rights complaint against their local school district after their daughter was not allowed to sleep in a hotel room full of boys during field trips, despite her belief that she is a boy trapped in a girl's body.

After two years of investigation by the Obama administration's Department of Justice, the Arcadia Unified School District agreed to a settlement in which they admit no wrongdoing, but will allow the teenage girl, who is about to enter ninth grade, to use the facilities of her preferred sex rather than her biological one, as well as to participate in activities intended for boys only.

Additionally, they will provide sensitivity training for their staff and faculty and add “gender identity” to the definition of “gender discrimination” in the district’s anti-discrimination policies.

That means from now on, the school district will allow students to use the showers, restrooms, and sleeping quarters of the opposite biological sex if they identify as “transgender.”

On Friday, conservative and pro-family leaders took to Fox News to criticize the decision, which they say is unfair to other students at the school.

Steve Johnson, who heads the local Arcadia Republicans, blamed President Obama for unleashing the DOJ on the school district, saying, “This is just a decision handed down by the Obama administration.” Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition says the Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition says the Obama administration made the wrong call

He said the girl’s classmates are unhappy about the settlement. “The restroom can be a very personal thing for kids growing up,” Johnson said.

Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition also criticized the decision. “We are seeing a trend here nationally where we have individuals who are psychologically unhealthy who are always getting with they want, but what do you do about the hundreds of other children in the school affected?” she asked.

Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, told Fox News that the DOJ overstepped its bounds in investigating the case in the first place, which he says had nothing to do with civil rights.

Attorney General “Eric Holder needs to reread the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and find out that civil rights are based on an unchangeable, immutable characteristic,” Thomasson stated. “You cannot change your genes or your gender. You have chromosomes and they are either XX or XY. This is a girl who has been environmentally warped to believe she is a boy, and, instead of coddling this confused child, her parents should have gotten her into counseling with an expert on gender confusion.”

It didn’t turn out well for Teena Brandon.

All this is ridiculous and stupid. You can’t change nature. There is no such thing as a ‘sex change.’

Well said, my FRiend. That makes two of us.

Yes, but the parents will win the Lawyer Lotto, and they obviously have been abusing the kid already.

You know, you hit it on the head. Teenage boys would die to be in the girls locker room. A boy she is not.

For various reasons, many of us did not shower after PE in high school. On warm days, you could tell it, er, smell it in our later classes.

But with a girl, any girl, in the showers naked, I suspect the showers will be full.

This will, undoubtedly, cause chaos.

Picture a large high school in a big, liberal city. Already they have big problems with violence, including sexual assault. Now they are gonna have a boy's PE class with 25 horny gang bangers & 1-2 tranny girls, naked in the shower. What could possibly go wrong?

How can a responsible parent put their daughter in such an obviously dangerous situation?

Now, let's get a little weirder, which is what the Left continually does. Some particularly disturbed boy is gonna go tranny just to shower & pee with the girls. If challenged, he can simply say he is a lesbian trapped in a boy's body. Who will question that, given the threat of a lawsuit? Not the fool, er, school system, you can be sure.

The end of this farce is clear: Multi-sex bathrooms, showers, & the end of overnight trips. Add to that rampant STDs, unwanted pregnancies, & the end of monogamous relationships.
