How do you know a kid is trans?
Are kids peeing in open stalls these days? Are there genital checks? I don't really care if my kid uses the bathroom with a trans kid. Everyone pees. And schools have stalls. But dang, seems like Republicans are getting really worked up about it. Sure, bring up the Loudoun County boy -- who was not trans. Bring up the one or two trans kids who play sports in an entire state. I just wonder, since trans are pretty rare, why can't schools handle the cases all on their own. Why does the federal government have to get involved? Or maybe it's just a reason to have Republicans bond together in their collective hate. |
It is also about locker rooms and sports. Not just bathrooms. |
The PP recognized that. |
How are people to know? He wore a skirt. |
Case will be too challenging for in-house counsel so will add a several hundred thousand for outside counsel to lose this case.
So even less money for actual instruction. |
That is the real bottom line here. No winners. |
Counterpoint: if it’s really only a couple of kids in the entire state and the bathrooms are a non-issue why would we give up funding and impact thousands of students? |
Sadly, there are more than two. There should not be any. |
Go Trump yourself. |
First of all, you really have no clue how unhinged the "+1000" posts sound, do you? Second of all, yes, you need to spell out your lies. The idea of this administration genuinely "defending Title IX" is a fascism fig leaf. The blackmail threat of cutting off funds as a way to coerce compliance is textbook authoritarian state. |
It is a federal law and it is federal dollars. |
Yes, a federal law which is being misconstrued (per prior court ruling), and federal dollars which are being used to coerce a political point of view. |
Or, a better way to put it: a federal law which was misconstrued by a prior court ruling, and federal dollars which are being withheld because the law is not being followed. There is absolutely nothing in Title IX about "gender identity." |
Well said! |
They tried that, and a student sued the school, claiming that being directed to use the neutral bathroom was mean and harmful. Unfortunately, she won the case. |
