Illinois School District Must Give Locker Room Access to Transgender Student, U.S. Says
yahoo ^ | Nov. 3, 2015 | Corin Miller

Officials say there was a "a preponderance of evidence” that Township High School District 211, which is based in Palatine, Illinois, failed to comply with Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination.

The student filed a complaint with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights in 2013 after she was denied the right to have unlimited use of the girls’ locker room, the Chicago Tribune reports. A solution appeared to be in the works, until school officials put up privacy curtains in the locker room and said the student would be required to use the private area while changing.

This will spin out of control pretty quickly.

What's going to happen is that teenage girls will simply stop using the locker room.

I’m old; but I never wanted to parade around naked in front
of the other girls in my phys. ed. class in the dressing
room. We had shower curtains, and you covered up your
nakedness with a towel on your way to a private dressing
room with a closed door. . . and you came out dressed.

This isn't a ruling by a real court, but by 0bama’s Dept. of Education - in other words, this is a ruling by leftwing bureaucrats.

And certifiably insane. The school district should fight this, but probably won't, if only because they leftwing nutjobs running the district are only slightly less insane than the federal 0bamacrats.

Part of my enrolling in band instead of PE had to do with not wanting to deal with the dressing room.

Another consequence of lesser evil voting.

Who put these judges on the bench? Conservatives? No?

Did the lesser evil GOP put a stop to their nominations or appointments? Did they fight them? No?

Has the lesser evil GOP stood up and said ANYTHING at all about this other than lip service Cave ins? No?

When people run around FR telling you you have to elect a Republican no matter what because the Dem is worse, It’s fairly obvious whose side they are on. And it isn’t Americas. Stop creating our own problems folks.

Cloward-Piven them. Have a “feel like a woman” day, where ALL the students say they feel like a girl and use the female facilities. Maybe the girls can use the boys’.

Patents can demand liability insurance and make it clear that there will be a massive lawsuit when something happens.

This is what Paul Ryan needs to do - MAKE LAWS that stop liberal elite lowlife judges from making law.

I wonder how many guys now are going to slap on wigs so they can shower in the girls locker room?

Word to the stupid liberals, girls don’t have penises.

How come stuff like this never happens in minority majority school districts? Are there no “transgendered” Latinos or blacks? Or is it just white guilt being manipulated by hard left nutjobs?

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.

I always took a VERY large towel; actually, they had
started not requiring 4 years of PE as early as that.
It was 1961-1964. I graduated from high school in
1964.
