A high school in Vermont banned girls on its volleyball team from their own locker room after they expressed discomfort with changing in front of a male who pretends to be a female.
Teen girls on the Randolph Union High School volleyball team said a male student claiming to be transgender reportedly “made an inappropriate comment while members of the volleyball team were getting changed.”
When players and their parents raised concerns about teen girls sharing intimate spaces with someone of the opposite sex, the school told them state law allows for students claiming to be transgender to use whichever bathrooms and locker rooms they desire. The school is also investigating whether the team violated the school’s harassment, hazing, and bullying policy.
“My mom wants me to do this interview to try to make a change,” one of the volleyball girls, Blake Allen, told local news outlet WCAX3. “I feel like for stating my opinion — that I don’t want a biological man changing with me — that I should not have harassment charges or bullying charges. They should all be dropped.”
In addition to threatening punishment for students for speaking up about their discomfort, school administrators claimed that girls who do not want to share their protected space with the opposite sex should go out of their way to “change in privacy.”
“They want all the girls who feel uncomfortable — so pretty much 10 girls — to get changed in a single stall bathroom, which would take over 30 minutes. Where if one person got changed separately, it would take a minute, like no extra time,” Allen said.
In that same email to parents, high school officials said their investigation will primarily focus on allegations that the girls harassed the transgender student even though the school’s harassment policy specifically bars the kind of inappropriate comments the male student allegedly made.
“A hostile environment exists where the harassing conduct is severe, persistent or pervasive so as to deny or limit the student’s ability to participate in or benefit from the educational program on the basis of sex,” the sexual harassment section of the school handbook states.
Administrators at Randolph Union High School did not immediately respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.
yup
But this way the point can be taught to children in school as how, when they become adults, they need to deal with whatever demonic woketardians attempt to destroy society.
How long will this nonsense go on?
That’s right!
They voted for it! Just part of the joy of living in the People’s Republic of Vermont.
1. Stop attaching this level of importance to organized sports to begin with. Stop deifying sports.
2. Stop deifying the concept of government-run and government-funded education. Remove your children from government-run and government-funded education. Create alternative education schemes with quality, morality, and spirituality. Home school. Home schooling is our favorite—we matriculated seven children of our own using home schooling, and they are all quite productive in their adult life: linguists, tradesmen, missionaries, company owners, etc. And all of them are home schooling our grandchildren.
3. If some simply must have their sports and want sexual purity, privacy, and separateness for their children, then get with good parents and work to create underground sports teams and leagues where the sexes are respected as God made them to be respected. Home schoolers often do athletic activities with other homeschooling families, and there are homeschool associations that provide athletic events as well as many academic events like science fairs, debate clubs, etc.
My kids being pulled out for home schooling paved the way for six families we knew in the district to pull their kids as well over the course if five years.
My children have no intention of sending their children to public schools.
That's not a cop-out. It's success.
Physical sports for us as home schoolers involved competitive martial arts, archery, golf, baling hay, and horseback riding. None of those things need be public school activities.
Good question.....it’s MOMS overwhelmingly who are leading this movement against oppression of their children by the public schools and all its programs. With a few exceptions, it is MOMS!

. . . and firearms training!
Strangely enough they had no interest. We had a large farm and there was always an animal being culled and butchered. They had no interest in deer season. The martial arts classes taught situational awareness and how to avoid risks to your personal safety.
Our favorite family sport was Archery Golf. We had about 90 acres of farmland. Two grass runways as the fairways. Archery Golf is a blast!
suggestion for anyone who has kids that are forced to share a locker room. if you are in a one-party state have your kid record the dialog of the boy pretending to be a girl if they are pretending, they will probably verbally out themselves with inappropriate comments... 4/5 of those who claim being transgender are just old fashion perverts looking for attention...
If a woman/man competing on a men’s team wanted their own changing/shower facility would this high school provide that for her/him? Or would she/he be required to change with the men/men?
Okay the only real protest they can make is for all to quit the team.
The school’s students should walk out, but my guess is that the kids are too afraid of being cancelled.
Oy vey.
Exactamundo! I wonder when some of the volleyball team students will be on Laura Ingraham, telling us exactly what pretend female student said.
