Sounds like it worked.
I really hate Newspeak.
“A Virginia transgender student was reportedly barred from seeking shelter inside his middle school’s locker rooms during a safety drill last month.
WUSA reports that the student, who identifies as female, was unable to go inside the girls’ or boys’ locker rooms during the drill designed to prepare children for school shootings.
The student’s name and the name of his school are not being released in order to protect his identity.
Equality Stafford, an LGBT rights group based in Stafford County, Virginia, posted about the incident on Facebook:
According to the post, the student was instructed to sit in the gym bleachers while teachers debated where to place him. He was eventually made to sit in the hallway until the drill was complete.
“During an event that prepares children to survive an attack by actual assailants, he was treated as if he was so much of a danger to peers that he was left exposed and vulnerable,” the post read.
Parents, friends and neighbors are planning to protest at a school board meeting Tuesday, WUSA reports.
Stafford County Public Schools Spokeswoman Sherrie Johnson released this statement following the incident:
Stafford County Public Schools does not comment on individual student incidents to avoid divulging confidential information. However, the new superintendent has requested a review of all protocols and procedures to ensure that all children are treated with dignity and respect. We take such matters very seriously and they will be addressed. The welfare of all students is of the utmost importance for SCPS.”
1. He doesn’t “happen “ to be transgender. He CHOSE to be transgender.
2. Why would a school instruct kids to go to the locker room corresponding to their gender in an active shooter situation? You should have them go to the nearest safe room
More vocabulary con from the left
I am picturing the conversation amongst the admin at the school. Do we put “her” in the girls locker room? Or the boys locker room? It seems that no matter what we pick we will either get in trouble by “her” parents for assuming, or by all the other parents for the potentially unsafe condition. Maybe we get less heat if we set “her” aside to figure out later.
Seems to me the school is in a no win situation.
It doesn’t say, but what if this person is very fluid, and thinks he is a boy one day, and a girl the next? Even more of a no-win situation.
Of course, the emergency plan should be to go to the locker room closest to you at the time, regardless of actual gender. Which would nullify this whole complaint.
