The little girls' room won't be just for little girls anymore, if the Maine Human Rights Commission has its way.
The commission is taking heat over a controversial proposal to ban schools from enforcing gender divisions in sports teams, school organizations, bathrooms and locker rooms. It says forcing a student into a particular room or group because of his or her biological gender amounts to discrimination.
The issue came to light last year when the commission ruled that, under the Maine Human Rights Act, a school had discriminated against a 12-year-old transgender boy by denying him access to the girls' bathroom.
Now the commission aims to issue guidelines on how schools should deal with similar situations in the future. It would make Maine the first state to implement such guidelines for schools as young as preschool and nursery -- and even some private schools.
But not everyone in the state is on board with the current proposal.
Some school districts and organizations have criticized the commission for making its initial ruling without getting enough input from conservative groups, and then for coming up with proposed guidelines in what some described as closed-door sessions.

What is wrong with these people????????????
Moral fiber going down the tubes!
When are you so-called “independents” or “moderates” or “conservative Democrats” or non-voters going to have enough?
The Maine Human Rights Commission belongs in The Maine Asylum for the Insane.
When are parents going to start telling these “Rights” commissions to go to hell, and NO, we will not answer to you or any lawsuit or any ruling that you put forth. If you want to use force to enforce it, then prepare to be met back with force.
“But not everyone in the state is on board with the current proposal”. Really?
The article goes on and on with people debating it. Amazing!
They are sick.
There are going to be problems with this crap... no doubt.

A nation gone mad!
They are perverts for one thing and insane for a second thing.

Somewhere along the way someone missed the memo that there is a difference between boys and girls and decorum dictates the separation of the two, especially when it comes to shower and toilet facilities. Just say’n
A twelve year old transgender boy? Puhleeze!
We used to call that hormones...
Seriously, this is preposterous. It’s time to take back the country. Starting at the local level sounds like a great approach.
I was gonna post this i was in shock reading it,first thought it was from Onion...
We are so Fu**ed if we do not change things in Nov..
Even using the word "gender" here is preemptively handing the victory to the perverts.
The word is "sex." Biological "sex." That would be male or female. We are a species that exhibits "sexual" differentiation.
"Gender," on the other hand, is primarily a grammatical term, and has no necessary connection with the two sexes. In languages which have gendered nouns, there's no sexual reason why el brazo (the arm) is masculine, but la piedra (the leg) is feminine.
"Gender" is fluid, subjective, and even whimsical. "Sex" is objective.
Say "sex."
Is there problem with schools giving away condoms? Sending girls to abortion clinics without telling parents? They have had pro-sex (Just say yes) sessions at elementary schools and I fail to see any groundswell. The condoms for pre-teens are coming, and I wonder if eyebrows will even go up. Taxpayer funded Planned Parenthood says girls should learn to enjoy sex at 10 and they also oppose laws that would forbid HIV infected people from spreading it without telling their sex partners.
Bunch of sane people, huh?
Probably when parents stop thinking their neighbors should to pay for their children's education. The solution is easy. Take kids out of public schools; every school day is a day you can vote with your feet and leave. Every day a conservative stays in a public school is another opportunity wasted to drive a stake through the heart of liberalism.

School wrestling teams will be really popular now.
.
Unreal.
this is an easy one.
contact the human rights group and advise them to tell all schools involved to give the transgendered the key to the staff bathrooms.
Exactly right. I wonder if the staff is going to open their bathrooms to the opposite sex.
>>School wrestling teams will be really popular now.<<
And touch football. And swimming. And ice hockey.
So true! We must begin to turn things around in November.
Then in the next election cycle, turn them over again!
Then, maybe then, the scum will get the message!
These bastards will get some little girl raped.
Don't forget all the 12-14 y/o normal boys who will be happy to have full access to the girls' locker rooms.
Pathetic. So everyone else has to have changes forced on them to accomodate a single person?
gender is the pc term for sex. liberals do not like the word sex. according to them, everyone is born a bisexual and transgendered and we all choose our sexuality and gender due to peer pressure. but homosexuals and transvestites? nature made them perfect and they did not fall for the peer pressure!
Ok “sex” it is for the rest of my remaining days
One addled and confused 12 year old punk causes millennia of social norms to be upended. We are truly an insane people. I just can’t stand it any more.
“School wrestling teams will be really popular now.”
That ship has sailed.
http://www.usgwa.com/
There are 500-700 girl wrestlers at the national championships; Many of them are on their high school wrestling teams. FWIW, they are athletes, interested in the sport.
That said, I think men’s and women’s restrooms should be separate.
Yawn...Just another WTF moment...Difficult for us old geezers to keep blood pressure under control reading this crap...
Parents, mothers get the hell out there and scream like hell, sit in, protest, block traffic, hold these idiots accountable their destroying your childrens moral fabric!
12-year-old transgender boy..
That tells me the parents are to blame to begin with.
To be fair, as a high school boy i’d have been in favor of ending segregated shower rooms.
If this goes through, how many parents will remove their kids from government insitututionalization?
Ten.
It's all about free babysitting. That's all gov't kid-houses are.
Free babysitting.
I lost respect for parents a long time ago. The only ones I pity are the kids.
Bunch of evil people with demented attitudes. Queer couples adopting is another putrid practice.

Expect this to float in the military sooner than later. If heterosexuals are forced to shower and bunk with openly afflicted homosexuals, then there isn’t much of a stretch to doing likewise with members of the opposite sex....
It changed within living memory.
