    The school already had single stall bathrooms for fuck sake! I use a non-gender conforming bathroom at work all the time even though it’s labeled “men” and “women” because I can close the door and no one can see me and it’s exactly the same as the other! And using kids pronouns? You use kids pronouns all the time, just this time you use the one they want.

    Close-minded people trying to ruin literal children’s education because they are too fragile of snowflakes to take the signs off of bathrooms and use a different pronoun than they feel is “right”. Honestly, it’s good this came out, because the kids would have probably been bullied anyway from the kids with shitty parents. Now the parent can pick a more appropriate school.

      I fucking love gender neutral bathrooms because I like being alone, and large groups get hung up on them, so they are always available and clean.

      At my highschool, there were only gender neutral bathrooms (and one women’s bathroom that I assume was vestigial)

    Friendly reminder that minding your business is one of the lowest effort activities out there.

      I am readinf this book on the history of being a heretic. It really is amazing how there is no bottom to this. People have been murdered, in multiple eras, in multiple parts of the world because of facial hair choices.

      Give the religious types the slightest amount of power over culture and they will show zero restraint

    I note the article doesn’t name the school. My thought process that led to this was on the first reading I noted it said it was a charter school. Charter schools were sold by our legislatures as being hybrid public-private schools that lacked religion.

    I think this charter school is crossing some lines that were promised wouldn’t be crossed when charter schools were approved by legislatures. Those kids need to find a more accepting environment, they’re currently being harmed.

      Whenever a group in power says “we promise we won’t do the bad thing” you can be rest assured, they will do the bad thing.

      The article sounds like school was fine for the most part. It was other parents that were dicks. And the one faculty member that complained about being forced to use pronouns. Probably the same person who leaked info about the kids sex.

      There’s no “what if”, Satanic Panic never went away. If anything, it’s being boosted by social media.
