CONCORD, Calif. — Instead of beating the bell between classes at Mount Diablo High, senior Charles Campos often finds himself waiting frantically for a chance to use a rare unlocked restroom on the sprawling campus.
Relief has been hard to come by since beleaguered Principal Kate McClatchy closed all but one boys and girls' bathroom to the 1,400 students last year. Although McClatchy unlocked a second set of restrooms this week, the dearth of commodes may violate the state's education code. She refused to say why she did it, but district trustee Gary Eberhart said he's been told it's because of graffiti.
So while McClatchy may have solved one problem, she has indisputably caused another. The lockout has made Campos and other students late to class, and those who skip the urinals in favor of making it to class on time are antsy and distracted because they couldn't go. A few have resorted to urinating in stairwells or other places, Campos said.
"And there's no toilet paper," Campos told the school board Monday.
Recognizing the urgent cause, the school's Amnesty International club has launched a new campaign: "Pissing is a Human Right."

Great Idea about the chalkboard paint...
The idiot principal should be fired and the board of trustees voted out of office. The students should break down the doors to the restrooms.
——the little criminals use ‘em to beat up marks for their lunch money.
Just like when I was in 7th grade. I reluctantly told my dad, fearing retaliation from the bullies.
The following day I was called out of homeroom to the appropriately-named vice principal’s office. Over the course of 15 minutes, he told me that there was nothing they could do, and,that I could use the nurses bathroom.
My first child graduates from homeschool next year, having never set foot in a govt school.
Oh yeah, and this year our bullied, 12-year-old, neighbor attempted suicide by downing a bottle of Tylenol.
Don’t forget the principal’s coffee.
I hate the concept of “collective guilt”. It takes away responsibility from the true criminals.
I read a memorize them all. Here you sit all broken hearted came to sh$t but only farted.....
Sort of fits considering the locked restrooms!
Then you're screwed.
If you denigrate the kids and turn them into animals, it’s easier to force the socialist/communist doctrine in the classroom because they no longer have the defense of civil living to question it.
Once you do this, you can skip teaching civics to the kids and go strait to mob action, walk outs and protest instruction.
They are creating the next generation of Occupy Wall Streeters.
Plus, with the money the schools save on paper products, cleaning and maintenance, they can hire a bunch of vice principals or other bureaucratic employees to help promote the socialist tendencies of the schools.
Parents get to hating the situation so much they start to avoid the schools, leaving the communists and socialists to their work.
Hail Eris.
Whatever was going to happen inside happened, be it smoking cigarettes, fights, whatever, and when the key was finally produced, chances were that everyone had left the room (or the building via windows) anyway.
The idea was stupid then, it is only more so now.
I’m honored, and cute lolhamster.
You damn dirty apes!
Thanks! It was...there.
Thanks!
I have to wonder, though...when weighing peeing against graffiti, why do those who have to go to the bathroom have to suffer so because of paint on the wall? Do they really think that paint on the wall makes any difference to the kids who have to go?
Think about the kind of person who becomes an urban public school administrator.
ROTFLMAO!
They used all the toilet paper!
Those maniacs!
There’s no thread that cannot be improved by the addition of Charlton Heston.
And he threw down the stall doors when he saw the students of Israel worshipping the purloined golden porta potty...
At least, that’d follow the “Let my people GO” theme.
You may [cough] borrow [cough] it any time you like, my friend.
This school is like Hell.
Damnation without relief...
