[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]They are saying they can use whichever bathroom they identify with. So a male teacher, who feels female, can use the girls room. They say, you can't discriminate against them by saying they are prohibited from the girls room if they "identify" as a female.[/quote]

If you believe that any male teacher would use the girls room in FCPS, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Aren't you worried about the female teachers using the boys room?[/quote]

Aren't FCPS restrooms like restrooms in public schools in DC and MCPS, where teachers and kids don't share?  So a male teacher, or a female teacher who was born male, wouldn't be "using" either the "girls" room or the "boys" room, he or she would be using the "staff" bathroom, which is probably already unisex.

I've worked in many schools, and the only time I've ever entered a student restroom were

1) Professional development days when there were no kids in the building, and every single staff member is trying to use the handful of staff restrooms because we all have the same 5 minute break.

2) When I've gone into a student restroom to deal with a student related issue, e.g. once I went in the boy's room during a fire drill to retrieve a kindergartener with special needs who was scared of the noise and was cowering with his hands over his ears.[/quote]
