This won’t satisfy the transgender community. They will scream that the transgenders are being unfairly put into separate accommodations. Watch!

No private stalls in public school locker rooms for students if PALATINE, SCHAUMBERG IL School Board members approve a proposed policy on November 14, and most parents don’t care...

A special meeting was set last week for the public to speak up on whether transgender students should be allowed unrestricted access to locker rooms in the District 211 high schools. District 211 is the largest high school district in Illinois with 12,000 students and five high schools.
ONLY 100 PEOPLE SHOWED UP - PRO AND CON.

Unbelievable!

It isn’t the 1st time & it won’t be the last time. The people that have to take the heat have no principles or courage & they are spending other folks money.

I think we should all fully support this act and in doing so, A ballot Initiative should be started to amend the State Constitution MANDATING ALL Public Employee’s in the State send their offspring to the Public School System, and make it a FELONY to do otherwise.

When you’re willing to spend $2.4 million to comply with lunacy

while out of the other side of your mouth you're telling everyone to vote Red (Commie Democrat) for Ed because the schools don't have enough money.

Interesting story if you dive down into the weeds. My baseline suspicion has always been that most BLTQXYZ kids desperately do NOT want to make waves. They are uncomfortable enough trying to hash out their non-conforming issues. They want to blend in. There are a very few who want to lead a fight, but most of the ruckus is being made by outside activist groups who want to exploit the kids as a tool for hammering a legal point to an extreme conclusion, which is what tends to happen when activist judges usurp the legislative function.

The first, very sensible response of many (probably virtually all) schools when the trans issue surfaced was to offer quiet workarounds, typically a designated separate facility, or at least a screened or partitioned area, or perhaps a separate time for showering and dressing. My guess is that virtually all trans kids would have accepted this with a sigh of relief. It is the activist groups that rejected such special accommodations, because they wanted to assert the complete normalization of gender differences via the smashing of all barriers and full integration with the normal population. Most of the "girls" with a penis probably feel profoundly uncomfortable showing with the real girls. It is the activist groups that have a dogmatic ideological insistence that they do so, whether they actually want to or not.

That said: in this particular school, they will soon have four separate shower areas, each with doors for privacy. All will be designated as gender neutral. This will satisfy the activists, who will have won their ideological point. In the real world, however, what will happen is that the boys will all go to one of the locker rooms, the girls will go to another, and the other two will be used by any non-conforming students who just want to take a shower without making a scene. This will develop over time as a de facto special accommodation in all but name.
