Gender neutral bathrooms have Troy parents picking sides (Troy, Ohio)

Bathrooms are the center of a major debate in Troy after the school district’s superintendent announced in a message there will be a gender-neutral bathroom in every school.

2 NEWS observed over the weekend several Troy residents chiming in on Facebook about Herman’s message.

However, the main factor is the federal law, Title IX. Often, people think of that when it comes to equality in athletics.

The mandates of the law have expanded since the ’70s when it was first enacted; the law was challenged in 2013, specifically on gender identity. The U.S. Department of Education announced last year that the law does protect transgender students.

Discriminating against a student based on his or her gender identity means the district could lose federal funding, a clause that has long been a part of Title IX.

----

Asked if the decision is permanent and if it could be reversed, the Superintendent answered, “I don’t know– I think this is part of federal law so I would contact the people that makes the laws and make these decisions and have that type of dialogue.”

---

Officials are encouraging parents to contact the district if they’d like to discuss this further. You can reach district officials at (937) 332-6710.

I have 3 and 1/2 gender neutral bathrooms in my house. Does that mean I’m “enlightened.”

What this will eventually boil down to is a series of stalls with doors and a common hand washing area.

We have 2-1/2. It’s a way to give each sex a violent aversion to the other.

I think it is about time where schools should stand up and say no and if that mean no Federal fund then all I can say is “so long, Uncle Sam.”

And just like that, Johnny, all government schools had pervy bathrooms. And the children lived pervily ever after.

A new HyVee supermarket went up on the west side of Madison a couple of years ago, and they were subject to the whims of the Madison cityc ouncil.

At first they had desireable parking spots for hybrid/electric cars. Those went away shortly after opening. People just ignored teh designations, so they might have gotten a waiver.

The supermarket had SIX single toilet unisex bathrooms. THAT is where this is all going.

My idea for gender neutral bathrooms.

One seaters with a locked door.

And long lines.

One person at a time.

They are trying to erase the differences between the sexes, (LGBT agenda). It is another way to destroy identity. They have destroyed family and they are working on destroying personal identity. It is a communist agenda.

The government keeps pushing and pushing this crap, then they wonder why the public is so angry.

Repeal Title IX. The Fed’s should have nothing to do with local education.
