[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to go back to the PE/Locker issue again.  So the boys got to go to PE for 2 weeks but the girls did not?  Why was that?  [/quote]

Because the girls locker room was locked for two weeks and the gym teacher told the girls they couldn't participate while wearing their school clothes. When the girls -- ladies, really -- pointed out that the boys often wear their school clothes, they were told that they didn't want to get sweaty. The principal knew and did nothing, then lied to the whole PTO call about his knowledge.

Literally. This is what happened. [/quote]

It was longer than 2 weeks per my daughter who had this class. And they had a 6th grade girls’ only meeting to discuss it yet the PE teacher remained in place even after that and it continued to happen. To the poster who doesn’t see a problem with all girls being excluded from a required class and boys are permitted to take the class…I don’t know why you think that’s ok. It’s not 1950. And it wasn’t just not being able to take the class, the teacher was openly dismissive of girls even being able to perform the PE curriculum. Girls can climb ropes too. [/quote]
