In what is likely to become a common occurrence in the near future, 150 Missouri high school students walked out of class Monday due to a disagreement as to whether or not a transgender student who was born male should be allowed to use the girls’ locker room.
From KMOV 4 St. Louis:
**The walkout lasted for about two hours. Roughly 30-40 people showed support for senior Lila Perry, who wants to use the girls’ locker room during gym class. Perry was born a male but said she has identified as a female since 13.
**“There’s a lot of ignorance, they are claiming that they’re uncomfortable. I don’t believe for a second that they are. I think this is pure and simple bigotry,” said Perry.
**A short distance away, a counter protest was being held by people claiming they have relatives at the high school.
It appears that the students were split as to whether or not they felt comfortable with the arrangement and the ordeal lasted for about 2 hours.
The school apparently offered Perry a gender neutral bathroom, which he rejected claiming, “I am a girl, I shouldn’t be pushed off to another bathroom.”
This is probably the most interesting aspect of the story. The school, which was clearly caught in a tough spot, offered a perfectly reasonable compromise to the situation and Lila Perry refused.
The way things are trending right now, the LGBT community doesn’t really care whether or not parents are comfortable with their teenage children being forced to share bathrooms and locker rooms with children of the opposite sex.
Perry even went so far as to say that he doesn’t believe the situation bothered anyone, opponents of the move were just bigots.
This represents the false liberal narrative that has been successfully used to demonize anyone who doesn’t agree with absolutely everything the LGBT community is asking for.
A parent who does not want their child, who they still have full legal control of, changing in the same locker room as a child with the genitalia of the opposite sex is not a bigot. Automatically labeling them as one does nothing to further the conversation.
Perry dropped out of the gym class but will keep using the girls’ restroom.
It’s hard not to be concerned by the degree to which the PC police have taken over society. This serves as yet another example of the supreme intolerance of the left. “My way or the highway”.
There is room for different opinions in this world, but it is the parent’s decision what their children are exposed to when they send them off to public school, not the media’s. Period.
Thanks. I’ll share the prize money with you. :>)
But if a transgendered female rapes a female, it is a lesbian squabble and not reportable. Any pregnancy, of course, will prove that lesbianism truly is a fertile lifestyle.
Or something like that.
People who walked out of class are bigots? No, they are enlightened and they don’t want a boy in the girl’s locker room...
Get YOUR children out of the government indoctrination centers - NOW!
It was funny back when MASH was on...
Scream rape each time he appears in the girls restroom because, as we all know, women don’t lie about rape.
Wait a minute. It’s against the law in Missouri to ogle people who don’t want to be ogled:
Missouri Revised Statutes 565.253:
“1. A person commits the crime of invasion of privacy in the second degree if: (1) Such person knowingly views, photographs or films another person, without that person’s knowledge and consent, while the person being viewed, photographed or filmed is in a state of full or partial nudity and is in a place where one would have a reasonable expectation of privacy;
The young man in question could end up in the slammer for invasion of privacy in the second degree.
Rewatched “Twin Peaks” on Netflix, and noticed David Duchovny had an early role as a “crossdressing” FBI agent. What was a comedy gag 25 years ago the liberals expect us to take seriously today.
They should expel all students who protest this. /s
Have all the boys use the girl’s bathroom and all the girls use the boy’s bathroom.
Problem solved.
The moral of the story: If you love your kids or grandkids, GET THEM OUT OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW!
Good. Finally something that makes sense is going on in America’s schools.
The old saying about putting lipstick on a pig has probably never been so literal.
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.
Good for them!!!!
Let this mentally ill student have all the bathrooms, as sane parents take their students out of that school. The children are watching whether we cave to those who are destroying our country.
Depends on what equipment you were born with and still have.
Use the appropriate one depending on that, not what you’d like to do.

That is not enough, must also get them off the internet. Til 18. IF I had to do it over again I would have raised them on an Idaho sheep farm without electricity
Just think. Today in order to check out the girls in their locker room, all you have to do is put on a wig and wear a skirt and you can perv all the girls. Classic. That’s what this is really all about
Going a little overboard there just trying to see in the girls locker room...
