Across America, public schools are faced with a challenge almost unheard of a generation ago: dealing with a student population that isn't sorted neatly into boys and girls.
A small but growing number of students and their families are demanding that schools make accommodations for transgender youths, who were born with the body parts of one gender but identify with the other.
Which bathrooms should they use? Should they play for the boys sports teams or the girls? Where should they change clothes and shower after gym class or athletic events?
Palatine-based Township High School District 211 is prepared to lock horns with the federal government over those questions, which the district believes should be handled at the local level. The U.S. Department of Education has said District 211 is violating the Title IX gender equality law by not allowing a transgender student who identifies as a girl to use the girls locker room.
The student, who has lived as a girl for several years, plays on a girls sports team but has been using a private dressing area near the gym.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint on her behalf, alleging discrimination. The ACLU's John Knight says his client should be treated "like any other girl," and the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights agrees.
By fighting that ruling, District 211 risks losing federal funding -- last year, it amounted to about $6 million -- and running up a big legal bill. But Superintendent Daniel Cates says the district has decided to challenge the ruling because Education Department has overstepped its authority.

That’s exactly what they are.
TY, you honor me.
This is the only delusion that is somehow not considered a psychological issue, but a part of reality.
The fact that we cannot even accept fundamental truths about reality shows how dooned of a society we are.
Liberalism is a mental disorder that destroys whatever it touches. This was unheard of a generation ago because it didn't exist...actually the time span is shorter than a generation ago that it didn't exist. And if they were "born that way" then time would have nothing to do with this becoming such a huge problem. People being told they don't have to accept who they are - the same people who argue people are born gay argue people aren't born male or female and get to choose - utter nonsense.
Is there a judge with the sense to make such a ruling?
In this school, a boy who thinks he’s a girl is suing the school demanding to undress and shower with the girls. I read an article that said no one showers after gym class anymore, but we used to. Another article said the young man wore thong underwear, to which he undressed. This boy has a private dressing room, but the ACLU is saying he needs to be treated like “the other girls.” I’m ecstatic the school’s standing up for the rights of non-crazy students.
simple. just check dna at birth and tattoo either xy or xx and that determines everything from there on, from which bathroom to use to which team you play on.
I guess the girls will have to dress and relieve themselves outside where they can have some privacy.
Ever deviation that these far left wackos propose just ends up creating endless more ‘problems’ that have to be solved.... I can see the day where a recreational facility will have to have say 500 separated shower stalls and no one is allowed to see anyone else in the nude.
Exactly… what gives any of the terms these folks call themselves any validity when it is all ‘self-identification’?
If they can’t go to the right locker room, send them home.
How many rapes will it take for the nutcases in charge to realize this is a terrible idea. ..
Another article I read said that girl’s uncomfortable undressing in front of a boy can use the private dressing room, rather than make screwed up boys use it (the article didn’t say screwed up).
Ahh, but what if you’re Y is feeling like an X?
Very simple: A toilet for Boys, Girls and Whatchmacallits
“Ahh, but what if you’re Y is feeling like an X?”
tough titty.
It’s easier to eliminate the problem, rather then try to come up with a solution.
Will this eventually apply to (i)slam as well ?
How?
It would happen if Christian and conservatives simply **removed** their kids from the government schools.
That is all it would take. Done! No more school board elections. No more property taxes to pay for government atheistic indoctrination. All gone. That is all it would take.
Christians and conservatives remove your kids.
Another Reason to Homeschool.
