A Vermont high school bans girls from their own locker room

The school has escalated the situation by investigating the girls for bullying.

I heard about this story last week, but the details were vague, so I left it alone, preferring to wait for more information. Now there’s more information, and the story is just as bad as I’d first heard: Girls on a high school volleyball team in Vermont were unhappy that there was a boy in their locker room. When they complained, the school said that, if they didn’t want to shower and change in front of a boy, they were free—all ten of them, to use a single bathroom stall. Additionally, they’re investigating the girls for abuse!

Vermont has long held that students should be allowed access to the sports and locker rooms that conform to their “gender identity.” Put another way, in Vermont, mentally ill or opportunistic young people who claim to “identify” as members of the opposite sex are allowed to play on the sports teams and use the locker rooms of the sex with which they “identify.” Magical thinking wins over reality.

In this case, a boy at Randolph High School has declared that he is a girl. We do not know whether he is mentally ill or merely opportunistic. It’s enough to know that he qualified for the girls’ volleyball team and that he has taken it upon himself to use the girls’ locker room. We don’t know whether the boy has been fully castrated or if he still has his genitals, but some of the girls are alleging that he made an “inappropriate remark” to them while they were changing.

While the details are fuzzy, what’s clear is that the boy’s presence in the locker room upsets the girls.

“It’s a huge thing. Everyone’s asking, ‘So, why aren’t you allowed in the locker room?’” said Blake Allen, who along with her fellow teammates are currently barred from using the locker room after some of the girls on the team objected to allowing a transgender player in the girl’s locker room. “My mom wants me to do this interview to try to make a change,” Allen said. “I feel like for stating my opinion -- that I don’t want a biological man changing with me -- that I should not have harassment charges or bullying charges. They should all be dropped.”

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

The true bullies are the boy and the democrats/leftist lobby.

Upside down world.

Hopefully, parents AND students are fighting against this total nonsense.

VT is a very mixed bag politically at the grassroots level.

I know several VTers who are quite conservative.

[calljack]

girls should declare themselves boys and demand entrance to the boys locker rooms. a couple of them could just sit there and giggle. That might take care of it.

[Dr. Franklin]

Most teenage boys would be happy just to have a peep hole for the girls shower.

[Jane Long]

I just cannot imagine ANY parent being okay with this. Even a percent of leftist parents have to be getting tired of this nonsense being pushed, constantly, on their own kids.

All the girls should boycott the team.

So much for Title IX.

Vermont has gone full retard.

Somebody in that school system needs an “attitude adjustment”, BAD. The goon obviously doesn’t know how the world works. They are sexually harrassing those girls. Somebody needs their ass sued. BIGTIME!

“So much for Title IX.”

Title Nine may be gone.

Not on pins and needles but will be interesting to see how this works out in the Fed courts. We have a new Supreme Court Justice who will not define a “woman”.
This is now a crazy world.
Did not want to live in “interesting times”

Ten strong soccer-playing women should be able to handle one crazy dweeb boy. In the locker room. In spades.

A swift kick to his nuts would solve this problem.
