Pennsylvania Students Stage Classroom Walkouts to Protest Transgender Bathrooms
Hundreds of students at a Pennsylvania school district staged classroom walkouts in protest of a new rule that allows transgenders into bathrooms of their desired gender.
“High school students in Perkiomen Valley School District staged the protest after officials opted not to adopt a policy that would force students to use restrooms which correspond with their biological sex,” the Daily Mail reports.
The children claimed that by making girls use toilets with men, the district officials were inadvertently endangering them. After a father, Tim Jagger, complained that his daughter had to share a toilet with a guy, the school system voted against a policy that would have prohibited transgender people from using the restrooms of their choice.
Tim Jagger, a local father, suggested the rule after learning that his daughter had become upset after coming into a transgender kid in the restroom.
“This is about protecting our children and our privacy and boys and girls. It’s simple biology,” one mother said of the walkout.
“There needs to be some changes. It’s just uncomfortable seeing 19-year-old men or 18-year-old men in the bathroom,” mentioned one student.
Dr. Barbara Russell, the district superintendent, stated that the school would not enact the ban because it violates the discrimination code, which recognizes transgender people as a protected class.
In protest of identical rules, students have staged walkouts in Alaska and Iowa.
“American students in Alaska and Iowa are protesting the official insistence that people can change their sex by declaring they feel like members of the opposite sex,” Breitbart News reported. “The pro-biology rebellion reflects the deep public support for the reality that men and women, boys and girls, are equal yet different and complementary, and it follows protests at two schools in Vermont and Missouri.”
