The little girls' room won't be just for little girls anymore, if the Maine Human Rights Commission has its way.
The commission is taking heat over a controversial proposal to ban schools from enforcing gender divisions in sports teams, school organizations, bathrooms and locker rooms. It says forcing a student into a particular room or group because of his or her biological gender amounts to discrimination.
The issue came to light last year when the commission ruled that, under the Maine Human Rights Act, a school had discriminated against a 12-year-old transgender boy by denying him access to the girls' bathroom.
Now the commission aims to issue guidelines on how schools should deal with similar situations in the future. It would make Maine the first state to implement such guidelines for schools as young as preschool and nursery -- and even some private schools.
But not everyone in the state is on board with the current proposal.
Some school districts and organizations have criticized the commission for making its initial ruling without getting enough input from conservative groups, and then for coming up with proposed guidelines in what some described as closed-door sessions.

What is wrong with these people????????????
Moral fiber going down the tubes!
When are you so-called “independents” or “moderates” or “conservative Democrats” or non-voters going to have enough?
The Maine Human Rights Commission belongs in The Maine Asylum for the Insane.
When are parents going to start telling these “Rights” commissions to go to hell, and NO, we will not answer to you or any lawsuit or any ruling that you put forth. If you want to use force to enforce it, then prepare to be met back with force.
“But not everyone in the state is on board with the current proposal”. Really?
The article goes on and on with people debating it. Amazing!
They are sick.
There are going to be problems with this crap... no doubt.
LLS
A nation gone mad!
They are perverts for one thing and insane for a second thing.
They are perverts for one thing and insane for a second thing.
Somewhere along the way someone missed the memo that there is a difference between boys and girls and decorum dictates the separation of the two, especially when it comes to shower and toilet facilities. Just say’n
A twelve year old transgender boy? Puhleeze!
We used to call that hormones...
Seriously, this is preposterous. It’s time to take back the country. Starting at the local level sounds like a great approach.
I was gonna post this i was in shock reading it,first thought it was from Onion...
We are so Fu**ed if we do not change things in Nov..
Even using the word "gender" here is preemptively handing the victory to the perverts.
The word is "sex." Biological "sex." That would be male or female. We are a species that exhibits "sexual" differentiation.
"Gender," on the other hand, is primarily a grammatical term, and has no necessary connection with the two sexes. In languages which have gendered nouns, there's no sexual reason why el brazo (the arm) is masculine, but la piedra (the leg) is feminine.
"Gender" is fluid, subjective, and even whimsical. "Sex" is objective.
Say "sex."
Is there problem with schools giving away condoms? Sending girls to abortion clinics without telling parents? They have had pro-sex (Just say yes) sessions at elementary schools and I fail to see any groundswell. The condoms for pre-teens are coming, and I wonder if eyebrows will even go up. Taxpayer funded Planned Parenthood says girls should learn to enjoy sex at 10 and they also oppose laws that would forbid HIV infected people from spreading it without telling their sex partners.
Bunch of sane people, huh?
