Victory! Boys born as boys can shower with girls in Kentucky school
Hotair ^ | 09/30/2014 | Jazz Shaw

I probably would have missed this story were it not for Maggie Gallagher at The Corner. It seems that the good people on the appeal board considering a case at Atherton High School (part of the Jefferson County public school system) have determined that you can use the girls’ bathrooms, locker room and showers if you say you’re a girl. No physical required.

A transgender teenager, who was born male but identifies as a female, can continue to use a women’s restroom and locker room at a Jefferson County Public School.

In a 5-to-1 vote, an appeal board upheld Atherton High School’s nondiscrimination policy Thursday, which states the school must accept the gender identity each student asserts and shouldn’t discriminate on the use of school space on the basis of gender identity nor gender expression.

If you read the full report from the local press you will find that the appeals board is composed of teachers, two parents and a school administrator. The board rejected appeals from parents who somehow thought this might be a bad idea. (They were clearly haters of some sort, I’m sure.)

Even as complicated as things have gotten in our 21st century society, I understand that some issues have arisen for various non-traditional individuals when it comes to workplace and public restrooms. I’m not all that put off by having a third, gender-optional bathroom at large offices, airports and other such locations. But this is a school We’re talking about children. And more specifically – in the context of a high school – we’re talking about teenage boys. Now, I don’t want to disillusion anyone here, but I have some experience in this subject, having been a teenage boy myself back in the day. If you presented me with an opportunity to get into the girl’s shower when I was fifteen, would I have gone so far as to claim I was in the incorrect gender assignment?

I’m going to need some time to ponder that one. A comment from Maggie.

As I have said before, I’m pretty sympathetic to the idea everybody needs a bathroom. But what kind of a society has priorities like these?

That would seem to be the question. But in the meantime, I’ll just say that this is a terrible idea. I’m not sure which parents are sending their sons into this particular battlefield in high school, but going on nothing but personal experience and anecdotal history, the story doesn’t end well. Asking for a third bathroom and locker room in public schools – particularly in lower income areas – may simply not be an option. And this is no option at all.

I’d not be nice about a man in my bathroom. But since you are you, I might let it ride.

Hahahaha! I always ask Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet what color the sofa/couch/seatee was in the ladies room, since men never get one.

Holder is hanging in there until his replacement is confirmed. He still has control of the DOJ for an unspecified time. He will do as much damage as possible.

you sure they shower, most high school students don’t take showers after gym, I know in my neck of the woods they don’t. No time. Most school periods are about 45 minutes long, by the time you change, take attendance, do some exercises and play for a few minutes it’s time to go, the period is over.

*Sigh* You’re most probably correct. He is petty and vindictive, just like his boss.

You’d discover we get other things not available in the men’s room and not so pleasant. No couches, etc. Just long lines, wet toilet seats and that other thing.

I’ve been a janitor, many moons ago, at a factory that employed 85% women and 15% men. You can’t surprise me with anything about a female washroom.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

If a transgender born male still has his male parts then he’s still a guy

Even if they chop off his parts, he's still a guy. He may be less of a guy, but still a guy.

I don’t understand why a bunch of boys don’t claim to be girls and play girls sports so they can get college scholarships. You know that is coming soon...

The lib mayor of houston pushed this exact bill through - so yes, in Houston, you can legally go into any ladies restroom and no one can stop you.

Didn’t Hitler use the same sex tactics to produce more babies born to little girls?

I remember some pretty creepy guys in high school, they would be the type to get in the girls’ locker room. Makes me sick to think that girls now could be forced to have a guy who makes you uncomfortable in the hallways leer at them while changing in the locker room. I am so very thankful that my kids are homeschooled and that my daughters have chosen dance rather than athletics. No boys there!

I pity the first girl that will be raped by a “lesbian” boy.

Keep in mind that these aren’t judges in the legal profession sense.

The giveaway was one voted in favor of sanity. Real judges would have been 5-0.
