School Agrees to Pay $800,000 After Transgender Student Born Female Is Denied Use of Boys' Bathrooms
Christian Post ^ | Jan 12, 2018 | By Stoyan Zaimov

A school board in Wisconsin has agreed to pay $800,000 to settle a lawsuit in the case of a transgender former student born female who was initially denied the request to use boys' bathrooms. The Kenosha Unified School Board voted 5-2 Tuesday night in favor of the $800,000 settlement, Kenosha News reported. Lawyers said that $650,000 of that sum would go toward attorney's fees.

The student, Ash Whitaker, a biological female who identifies as a male, claimed the school had carried out discriminatory practices in requiring that students use the bathrooms of the gender they were born with.

Whitaker, who graduated Tremper High School in June 2017, also claimed that school staff would monitor trips to the bathroom. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled in May to uphold U.S. District Court Judge Pamela Pepper's injunction allowing Whitaker to use male-only restrooms despite the school's directives.

The settlement also allows Whitaker to use male bathrooms when returning to the school as an alumni.

"I am deeply relieved that this long, traumatic part of my life is finally over and I can focus on my future and simply being a college student," Whitaker, who is now attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said in response to the settlement decision...

In another settlement last August, a charter school in Minnesota agreed to pay $120,000, as well as to institute a gender-neutral school uniform policy and train its staff in transgender student sensitivities, after a civil lawsuit from the parents of a transgender student claimed the school did not do enough to protect their child from experiencing bullying and harassment.

From the creation of man, when "He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?," (Matthew 19:4,5) the only sanctioned sexual union of male and female has been btwn them, in marriage.

And thus the devil, who seeks worship in his alternative kingdom via his proxy servants, not only denies what sin is, but promotes sinful perverse alternatives to what God has ordained as right and beneficial for man.

And while the basic function of government is to punish evil and reward good, insofar as it (and the society which place them in power) rejects God's standard for what is good vs evil then government will increasingly reward evil and punish good.

The result is that by sanctioning homosexual marriage and thus penalizing states that will not, then SCOTUS has effectively required that all salute to the flag of Sodom.

Meanwhile real Christians, who stand for Biblical morality, and seek the salvation of others, including homosexuals, can be viciously maligned, slandered (as homophobic) and excluded from employment due to what they identify and express themselves as being, but if a entity hurts the feelings of a person who identifies and express themselves as homosexual then they can heavily fined and punished.

Lawyers said that $650,000 of that sum would go toward attorney’s fees.

The “usual” lawyer’s fee of 80% of the settlement.

Laws are made by this elite class called lawyers.

Time for Trump to take a shot across the bow at this profession.

These lawsuits are just to set a precedent......this will be cited in future lawsuits against any establishment who dares to prevent a transgendered person from doing ANYTHING THEY WANT.

Pure stupidity.

No girls should be allowed in a boys bathroom , AND NO BOYS SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN A GIRLS BATHROOM OR SHOWER!

Is that such a difficult concept?

It amazes me that the ‘rights’ which are usually ‘feelings’ of one person can be deemed so important so as to nullify the feelings of all the other students. Idiots.

I guess the ‘Schrewels’ ignore the science of DNA and sexual chromosomal types. Females are XX and males are XY. Then again LIEberals trash truth and facts if it doesn’t align with their corrupted agenda. Now fork over $800/k of taxpayer funds to acquiesce to lying lefty activism. Shameful.

Shouldn’t the Headline say “Taxpayers”, unless the School Board Members ponied up the money out of their own Pockets.

The issue isn’t the school here, from what I can tell - the issue is the legal system and judicial precedent.

A nearby school had a similar problem. They let the child use the faculty restroom.

Poor lil LIEberal snowflake Ash making a big stink out of which bathroom to use. Use the effin’ womens room and close the stall door. Instead her and her lawyers steal a nice little payout over where she does her bodily functions. Fitting that the connection is with pee, excrement and sewage.
