This is absolutely horrible. A federal appeals court has just set a legal precedent that would force schools to allow transgender teens to use whichever bathroom they choose in a public school.
In other words, they just opened the door to transgender teen girls (boys!) using the girl’s bathroom and locker rooms at your local public high school!
AP – A federal appeals court has overturned a policy barring a transgender student from using the boys’ restrooms at his Virginia high school.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the Gloucester County School Board policy is discriminatory. A federal judge had rejected Gloucester High School student Gavin Grimm’s sex discrimination claim.
The appeals court’s ruling establishes legal precedent in the five states in the 4th Circuit, including North Carolina, which faces a lawsuit challenging a new state law requiring transgender public school students to use the bathroom that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificate.
Grimm was born female but identifies as male. After complaints, the school board adopted a policy requiring students to use public restrooms corresponding with their biological gender.
What a disgusting ruling that opens the door for predators to take advantage of our children while in their most vulnerable state.
You know, our culture is already on fire. But these liberal judges just threw a whole forest’s worth of wood on that fire with this ruling.
UPDATE: I had the trans-terminology wrong in the title, so I corrected it.
