Why a Virginia Middle School Is Removing Urinals from the Boys’ Bathrooms
Townhall.com ^ | August 23, 2021 | Michael Brown

It’s bad enough that a middle school in Loudon County, VA, has decided to remove “male” and “female” signs from its bathrooms.

But in an even more extreme nod to social insanity, this same school is removing the urinals from the boys’ bathrooms. Why? It’s because a number of biological females, who identify as males, are offended by the presence of urinals.

So, rather than point out to these females that they are not really males (otherwise, they’d have no problems with urinals), the school turns the world upside down to accommodate them.

This is the direct result of school policy 8040, which states, “LCPS staff shall allow gender-expansive or transgender students to use their chosen name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence, regardless of the name and gender recorded in the student’s permanent educational record.”

So, no substantiating evidence is needed, and, the policy states, all teachers must comply with the students wishes.

In other words, impressionable students, including young children who haven’t the foggiest idea about sexual and gender realities, can simply declare their new identity, and the school must change their records accordingly. And woe be to the teacher or administrator who dares question this cultural madness.

Appropriately enough, the policy is titled, “RIGHTS OF TRANSGENDER AND GENDER-EXPANSIVE STUDENTS.” Gender-expansive? What does that even mean? Welcome to the new reality.

Of course, the problem with this new reality is that it has nothing to do with reality at all.

A biological boy who calls himself a girl is still a boy, and vice versa, no matter how much compassion we want to show them in the midst of their gender confusion.

That’s why that girl cannot use a urinal: because she is not a boy. And saying this is neither hateful nor bigoted. It’s simply telling the truth.

But alas, we live in an age when truth has been displaced by perception, resulting in men’s bathrooms on college campuses having tampons on hand, because “men can menstruate.”

And when “breastfeeding” is replaced by “chestfeeding,” lest “men” breastfeeding their children feel offended.

And when you read stories stating, “When Jesse Ballard found out he was pregnant, he was shocked yet excited.” (Jesse, the “husband,” is the biological female, impregnated by his “wife,” who is the biological female.)

And this is something we are supposed to celebrate. In reality, for all involved, it is heartbreaking. Surely, God has a better way.

Unfortunately, these decisions to do not only affect the individuals making choices for themselves. Instead, they affect others living or working or going to school with them.

As David Kubal pointed out in his article about the urinals being removed from a school in his district, the perceived needs of roughly 0.3 percent of the population, now turn the world upside down for the other 99.7 percent.

Accordingly, he writes, because of this tiny percentage of people in Loudoun County:

Who needs a urinal when you have a picture of Jane Fonda?

“RIGHTS OF TRANSGENDER AND GENDER-EXPANSIVE STUDENTS.”


Their rights to have bathroom facilities for others removed?

I don’t see how any parent could send their little girl to a place where boys and men would be in the restroom with her.

If you study this phenomenon carefully, it soon becomes obvious that this nonsense is rooted and grounded in hatred of women — and that homosexuals are promoting it — and it is well known that homosexuals hate women.

Notice how women are diminished and degraded with the implementation of this nonsense.

One of the many reasons the mentally ill should not be in positions of power.

You don’t plan to eat lunch on the day you have to clean up after anteaters.

Lol, now that's some information I've never seen offered before. Lots of unique information in your post.

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.
