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.
Welcome to the People’s Republic of Vermont.
No articles seem willing to post the name & pic of the perv.
“...if all girls left the school and refused to return until the policy was revoked...”
THAT would be a showdown that would require nerves of steel.
Schools get funding fun the State basis butts in chairs. No butts; no bucks.
I could see school officials pulling the truancy card and attacking parents via the police and Child Protection Services.
About that point the cauldron would likely boil over and there’d be some dead people.
Let us molest your girls or you will be arrested.
Geez. At that age, it is hard enough to change in front of other girls. This is SO UNFAIR. Those DEMANDING it should be shot.
Personally, I would quit the team...
Not unless the bottle came from New Hampshire, Vermont has a bottle law. 🤓
Of course, we aren't innocent. We leave if parenting gets hard. We don't see our kids..Us DADS needs to be there for our kids, one of my employee is 33 and he has 4 kids (from 13 to 6) and he is 33. He is proud his kids are in Texas, New York and Iowa.. none in Florida. Good worker, lousy human male...
In Vermont, nudity is legal in most places. Burlington has a nude Bicycle Race every June. Any small swimming hole could have naturists swimming nude any hiking trail could have nude hikers. In the 1990s, there was a T-shirt with a family nude and it said:’Expose yourself to the Long Trail’, the long Trail is the Appalachian Trail in Vermont, until the AT goes East while the LT goes North to Quebec.
Tar and feather the principal and any others involved in this CRIME against humanity!!!
the last one...
But that gets the point across SO slowly.
Get the EVIL outta the school!!!
Uh... because the BOYS would beat the snot out of him??

depends on where it’s located.
