Pennsylvania teens dead right on Perkiomen Valley trans bathroom insanity
New York Post ^ | Sep 20, 2023 | Post Editorial Board

The gender madness gripping schools and other institutions across America has gotten so bad, even kids are sick of it.

After Pennsylvania’s Perkiomen Valley School district failed to pass a common-sense policy requiring students to use the bathroom that corresponds to their biological sex, hundreds of kids stood up and cried out, No more.

They staged a walkout and a protest in response to this abdication of adult responsibility by the very people charged with their care and education.

“Kids were upset. Girls … we wanted to protect them. They were upset. They didn’t want men in their bathroom,” said the walkout’s organizer.

“It makes me feel as if it’s me and my sister and the rest of us students’ rights are now compromised and not a priority to this school whatsoever,” said another high schooler.

Precisely. Forcing teens, especially young women, to share deeply private spaces with members of the opposite sex is disrespectful and dangerous.

Wow, a school walkout that actually makes sense. Surprised they haven't had the students arrested or swatted. Of course it may come to that.

Using ‘dead’ in title, just doesn’t make me want to read it, crying wolf again

Meh. I agree it’s extremely poorly written, but I don’t think they were trying to mislead. Just a sloppy editor, or none at all

Then, it’s not just me. I saw the headline “Penn teens DEAD...trans bathroom insanity!”

I immediately pictured something awful, unjust and very bloody.
Never Mind.

Well, it's the New York Post. Shocking headlines are kind of their stock in trade:

These school admins and teachers are practicing medicine without a license. They need to go to jail.

“Wow, a school walkout that actually makes sense”

***********

Its almost as if they believe that a walk out by a majority of students would make any difference. The views of the majority are mostly ignored these days. The administrative state makes all the decisions for us now.

It is referred to as a “Attention-Grabbing Hook.”

Why don’t the police arrest all the groomer teachers and administrators?

It is really pathetic when kids have a better moral code than adults. Since adults encourage this gender denial crap, maybe it will take children to fix it. Fixing it begins and ends with ejecting the gender denying freaks from school. I would have no problem if force is used to do so.

Yeah, so now they’ll be branded as transphobic or some such nonsense.

I'd say that grammar is no longer taught at that school.

I'd also bet that a large fraction of the kids who are walking out are motivated less by the issue of male students in female restrooms than by the prospect of getting out of classes for a while.
