A high school assistant principal has been suspended for allegedly cornering a transgender student in the boys bathroom and challenging the teen to use a urinal to “prove that he was a boy,” according to reports.
Michael Critchfield, a sophomore at Liberty High School in West Virginia, said he went to the bathroom before leaving for a school trip on Nov. 27 when Assistant Principal Lee Livengood barged in, according to a statement from the American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia.
“He kept asking me why I was in there. [He said] I shouldn’t be in there because I am not a guy, and I told him I am a boy, I identify with this bathroom, and it is my legal right to use this restroom,” Critchfield recalled in the statement, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
The principal then allegedly blocked the doorway and continued to loudly berate the 15-year-old.
The incident finally ended when some other students complained they could hear Livengood yelling at their classmate from the cafeteria, hallways and the band room, Critchfield said.
At the end of the exchange, Livengood told the teen: “Not gonna lie, you freak me out,” in front of the other students and the trip chaperone, Critchfield said.
The ACLU-WV sent a letter describing the incident — and calling for a meeting with school administrators — to the Harrison County Schools superintendent Sunday night.
“The bottom line is that it’s been weeks, and the school has done nothing to remediate the situation,” ACLU-WV executive director Joseph Cohen said.
The teen’s mother said she “wanted to cry” when she heard what the principal had put her son through.

The consequences of:
1. Graduating lawyers far far in excess with of what society needs,
2. Mainstreaming of radical irrational egalitarianism.
Q: Does the school provide adequate means for students to relieve themselves of bodily waste?
A: Depends.
Exactly and to the person who said you just put the icon of the genital on the door and that will solve the problem. That won’t solve anything. They’ll just say their genital identifies as the other.
...changes hourly...
That is probably going too far.
“He kept asking me why I was in there. [He said] I shouldn’t be in there because I am not a guy, and I told him I am a boy, I identify with this bathroom, and it is my legal right to use this restroom,” Critchfield recalled in the statement, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
Save yourself a lot of trouble. Learn this phrase:
"Sorry, the line for the girls' room was too long."
Male to female transpeople caught in the girls' room can fall back on this line:
"When ya gotta go, ya gotta go."
Problem solved.
...”the teen to use a urinal to “prove that he was a boy,””
That’s crossing the line no matter the gender or alleged gender of the student.
You mean like ALL of recorded human history up until 30 years ago?
Good old days -- when didn't have ceaseless hectoring about homos, trannies, gays, health care, CO2, global warming, global climate catastrophe, solar energy, wind energy, abortion, equal pay, snowflakes, etc, etc, etc.
Men were men and women were women.
Ahhh... So both the mother and daughter are delusional. Must run in the family. Of course they had to suspend the assistant principal. He's too well to be allowed around the patients in this asylum. Just be thankful that Oberst Fuhrer... I mean ACLU-WV executive director Joseph Cohen was on the job and spotted this unfortunate breech of correct think.
