Across America, public schools are faced with a challenge almost unheard of a generation ago: dealing with a student population that isn't sorted neatly into boys and girls.
A small but growing number of students and their families are demanding that schools make accommodations for transgender youths, who were born with the body parts of one gender but identify with the other.
Which bathrooms should they use? Should they play for the boys sports teams or the girls? Where should they change clothes and shower after gym class or athletic events?
Palatine-based Township High School District 211 is prepared to lock horns with the federal government over those questions, which the district believes should be handled at the local level. The U.S. Department of Education has said District 211 is violating the Title IX gender equality law by not allowing a transgender student who identifies as a girl to use the girls locker room.
The student, who has lived as a girl for several years, plays on a girls sports team but has been using a private dressing area near the gym.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint on her behalf, alleging discrimination. The ACLU's John Knight says his client should be treated "like any other girl," and the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights agrees.
By fighting that ruling, District 211 risks losing federal funding -- last year, it amounted to about $6 million -- and running up a big legal bill. But Superintendent Daniel Cates says the district has decided to challenge the ruling because Education Department has overstepped its authority.

It’s easier to eliminate the problem, rather then try to come up with a solution.
Check DNA and proceed accordingly.
Snot-nosed lunatics are running the asylums.
When I was a kid, we called “transgenders” peeping Toms.
More sodomite horse sh*t. They are bent in the head - that is all. A good ass kicking would solve the problem.
Get YOUR children out of the government indoctrination centers - NOW!
what prevents adventurous young students from declaring themselves gender-bent entitled now?
I do feel sorry for them, finding a place in this world...
however, my discomfort is just as important as theirs, and I would feel profoundly uncomfortable having a male, a real male, in female dress, peeing in the same BR I'm trying to use...
Back in my day there were no such thing as “transgender” at least not openly, if so they would have been called queers.
Chaos seems to follow them wherever they go.
our churches and schools are being changed dramatically to something that is unrecognizable...
we all have the ability to run for the school board or the pta or run for public office....
I'm afraid that "rhinos" is just our excuse.
Well said, as usual.
Run the DNA on all the confused kids. If XY, then male. If XX, then female. Very precise. No more confusion.
This is trash trying to run the system! They should be run out of the system!
>> “transgender” students
There isn’t such a thing.
Drop trou, and WE’LL tell you which locker room you use.
