High school's decision to remove toilet doors to create 'non-gendered' facilities causes outrage among parents

A public high school's decision to remove the front doors of toilet blocks in order to create 'non-gendered' facilities has been met with fury among parents.

In a letter sent to parents and caregivers, Principal of Golden Grove High School in Adelaide, Peter Kuss, advised the changes to the current toilet facilities had been implemented.

'The health, safety and wellbeing of all young people is important to us. We understand that accessing toilet facilities whilst at school can cause anxiety for some students,' Mr Kuss wrote in the letter.

'The guidelines for the provision of student toilets has evolved over time.

The high school is currently undertaking a new $15 million redevelopment.

'New toilets provided as part of the recent capital works project... have been constructed to meet the new standards,' Mr Kuss added.

This included providing lockable, non-gendered, individual cubicles, with handwashing included inside the cubicle, accessed directly from common spaces or open corridors.

A bathroom with no door is not for baths and is not a room. Discuss amongst yourselves.

They could save space by getting rid of designated defecating spaces entirely, and converting all of the classroom chairs to toilets.

Ultimate solution is everyone eliminates whenever and wherever they get the call. No need to stop walking or excuse one’s self from company.

Noticing someone is taking a dump on your shoes is racist.

"This included providing lockable, non-gendered, individual cubicles, ..."

Add another separate non-lockable room with two sinks and half a dozen urinals and the problem is solved. Who would have a valid complaint?

What is this fixation the democrats have with human excrement? Hell, they’re even doing TV commercials about performing “number two”.

My husband’s response - I bet the teachers facilities have doors.

Stalls without doors are common in prisons and lunatic asylums.

I once took a tour of a decommissioned prison. Toilet facilities were behind bars, but visible to passing guards.

And I once read a book written by a young woman who spent nearly two years in an asylum (Girl Interrupted). She'd attempted suicide. She had to use a stall without a door, so the nurse could watch her and make sure she didn't try again to kill herself.

Children are now being treated like prisoners and lunatics.

It’s more than just a
Bathroom.

In addition to privacy needs while using the facilities, that outer door provides the user with a very brief, but total ‘Time Out’ session. Sometimes you need a spot to sit and relax for a moment. A spot where you will not be under anyone’s observation or subject to anyone’s judgement,, just for that brief four to six minutes.

That would be a better prank than building a VW Beetle inside the school. Steal all the doors for teachers' restrooms.

"We understand that accessing toilet facilities whilst at school can cause anxiety for some students"

Good Lord. When the doors were on, maybe 1% or 2% of the kids were anxious, but now more than 90% are. Who likes doing your business in an open stall with no privacy?

When do these micro-minorities STOP beating up the huge majority? What is wrong with these people at schools and school boards? Don't they want the greatest good for the greatest number?

Keep the room and just put a couple of holes in the floor like most of the world still does.

Unisex bathrooms in the U.S. are stupid. Lone exceptions, a small restaurant on Washington D.C., then yes, unisex bathrooms make sex because space is at a premium.

I can't see how the American public is okay with this trend. Both sexes are different despite the Democrats saying that's not the case.

Depriving school children of the joy and relaxing effect of reading the graffiti on the toilet door while taking a healthy sh#t is totally absurd. There are often perals of wisdom to be found on the back of the lowly sh#thouse door.

I remember in the college gym locker room there was a row of urinals down one wall and commodes down the other, no doors or partitions.

Good point. Cutting holes in the floor would save money, which could be used to fund more tranny story time and extracurricular sex change consultations.

It’s all for the children, you see.

Perversion and idiocy such as this can often be effectually ‘’corrected’’ by a good solid punch in the mouth.

Pain can be very ‘’spiritually transforming’’ as one of my
old Catholic schools nuns once told me.

It is all about equity. For years I have heard complaints about the fact that lines were longer in the women’s bathroom because men had urinals now there won’t be any urinals and everybody can stand in long lines.
