Hundreds of students from Pennsylvania's Perkiomen Valley School District walked out of class Friday after the local school board failed to enact a policy requiring transgender students to use the restroom corresponding with their biological sex.
"Kids were upset. Girls… we wanted to protect them. They were upset. They didn't want men in their bathroom," John Ott, who organized the walkout, told FOX News on Monday.
His mother Stephanie accused the district of only protecting transgender students and not looking at the "whole picture."

Hey kids, pay close attention to the nutjobs pushing this lunacy, then when you're 18, vote accordingly!

Things are slowly changing. One drip at a time. People have had enough. I'm very proud of these kids. There is hope after all for our next generation.

If school districts find it necessary to cater to “transgender” students, install a “transgender only bathroom.” Also Protect everyone else’s rights. Or are the only rights that are to be protected are “transgenders!”

Thank God someone in America is standing up for girls. Sad that it has to be high school kids.

4, that's a horrible waste of tax dollars. They have better things to spend money. For example, absolutely anything else.
This shouldn't even be an issue. We have 2 bathrooms for the 2 genders. The "born with penis" room and the "born with vagina" room. No others necessary.

Many years ago, when one of our boys got hyper-sensitive about using bathroom for a productive 'sit' we had several bellyache days that the middle school nurse had to call us to come get him. When he had gone to his locker for rest of things to come home that day, her private suggestion was let him know he could use the private restroom in her office; no questions asked, & his teacher would be cool with it. Problem solved with no drama. Can't the schools find a way to not damage all the students who do not want to be exposed to the insane narcissism of the tiny few?

4 years ago the SD I taught at designated one of the unisex faculty restrooms for the handful of transgenders. I stopped using that RR.

Does this school board not care that their female students ALSO identify as female?
Who decided to prioritize the comfort of males who "identify" as females, over the comfort and safety of females who identify as such, because they ARE females?
Who decided that females who cannot feel safe sharing a restroom (or locker room) with men are obligated to change THEIR habits by seeking a single use facility? That's an unreasonable burden. Better the men adapt to single use facilities or continue using male facilities. It's appalling that the school board thinks females deserve to be a lesser priority than the males.

Remember the good ole days about 5 years ago when all a privileged, spoiled, snowflake had to do to change something was to say 'it made me uncomfortable.' Now when students do that about trannies in the girls bathroom, the poor girls get arrested for racism, sexism, misogyny, hate crime for some other nonsense. What happen to acknowledging and accepting all feelings and not just the feelings of some perverts?

#11, the problem is the right to protest only applies to the privileged class. The problem is the privileged class has changed. Five years ago, that included women or anyone with a grievance except those on the right. Now, the privileged class has been redefined to focus on LTGBQ...XYZ, which leaves real females on the outside looking in.

I remember going to a public one room school house with the first three grades, in Massachusetts. The boys went in on the left door and the girls went in on the right.
Each side had a separate cloak room to remove their boots, coats and leggings. In the basement were four sets of toilets, each had individual stalls, two for the boys and two for the girls and it was separated by metal bars. We could look through the bars, but I know of no one exposing themselves while I was there.
We were taught right from wrong and no one messed with Mrs. Hersey.

People tend to bash Pennsylvanians, the same way they do Californians, but there are large pockets of both states that are extremely conservative - Christian in fact. My wife's extended family might be labeled "hicks" by some, but they are intelligent and hard-core right wing (Christian too.) Glad these kids stood up to the leftist nonsense.
