    Girls Threatened With Hate Crime Charges For Complaining About Transgender Bathroom

    Girls Threatened With Hate Crime Charges For Complaining About Transgender Bathroom Harassment

    School tells parents boy’s rights as transgender trump their daughter’s privacy rights

    Female students at Florence High School in Colorado were threatened with hate crimes charges when they complained about being harassed by a transgender boy in the girls’ bathroom.



    Initial complaints about the transgender student’s behavior towards the girls were made by their parents, who were told by the school that the boy’s transgender rights trumped the privacy rights of their daughters.
    When the female students continued to complain about the harassment, the school threatened to kick them off the athletic team or even hit them with hate crimes charges if they didn’t stay silent.
    The Pacific Justice Institute sent a letter to the school warning them against prioritizing transgender rights over the privacy rights of female students.
    “We’re not going to stand by and let 99.7 percent of our students lose their privacy and free speech rights just because .3 percent of the population are gender-confused,” the letter stated.
    The school so adamantly sided with the transgender student that officials even suggested the girls give up access to most of their restrooms altogether, reported CBN News.
    Although Colorado’s treatment of transgender school children is determined by policy, California became the first U.S. state to mandate by law the right of girls and boys to choose which bathroom they would use regardless of their gender back in August when Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 1266, otherwise known as the ‘Transgender Bathroom Bill’. The law takes effect on January 1st.
    The Pacific Justice Institute is circulating a petition that would force state officials to put the bill up for a referendum. If the group collects 500,000 signatures from Californians before November 10, the Bathroom Bill will be temporarily suspended until it is voted on at the next State general election in November of 2014.
    Californians “jolted by the mental image of children sharing lavatories and locker rooms with opposite-sex classmates,” are making concerted efforts to repeal the bill before it becomes law,reports Bloomberg. If the bill is suspended, it could set the precedent for other areas of the country.
    However, in states like Colorado, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Washington, students and parents are at the mercy of schools who have already instituted policies which exalt the rights of a tiny minority while violating the privacy rights of a huge majority of students who are being forced to share bathrooms with members of the opposite sex who identify as transgender.

    High School “Transgender” Boy Granted Anytime Access To Girls Restrooms

    Posted by Rick Wells



    Over the past year, the good people of Colorado have had to endure the natural disasters of out of control wildfires, rains and flooding. We can also add to that list the unnatural disasters brought on by the socially destructive calamity of rampant liberalism.

    The liberals aren’t satisfied with restricting their attacks upon America to the second amendment rights to firearms. For them, grabbing guns is exhilarating, but now they have their sights on the nether regions of high school girls. They’re up for grabs as well.

    The issue, created by the officials at Florence High School in Colorado Springs, originated with a single male student who represents himself as “transgender.” The name of the student was not revealed, so we’ll just call him “Pat.”

    Pat likes to go into the girls’ restrooms as well as the boys’. Apparently he’s so extremely gender-confused that he can’t tell from one hour to the next which sex he identifies with.

    Not only does Pat use the female facilities as the urge strikes him, he’s also got a reputation and a purported history of sexually harassing the female students while he’s in there.

    Parents have complained to the school authorities, the same ones which created the problem to begin with, and have gotten nowhere. They have actually been the recipients of push back by the school board and administrators who have threatened retaliation against the female students if they continue to complain.

    The school board has told the dissenting parents and students that dismissal from athletic teams and charges of “hate crimes” could result if they continue to stand up for normal, traditional, biological-based values and principles.

    One idea I had, as a way for the faculty, good liberals that they are, to demonstrate their solidarity with Pat, is for them to voluntarily opt for an “extra public” public restroom facility.

    It would consist of a single plastic wading pool that you can pick up at Wal-Mart for about $12 and a few hand railings that any self-respecting custodian could construct in a couple of hours. This common facility would be for the exclusive use of school teachers and administrators, regardless of gender or sexual preferences.

    The pool, or “Tell-All Teacher Trough”, would permit the teachers to lead by example, observing each other as they conduct their business, and be in keeping with the inclusive nature of the school’s position.

    Since it is unlikely the school will choose to take advantage of the remedies I have suggested, there are other important developments which may provide relief for the distraught families.

    The Pacific Justice Institute, a non-profit agency that champions traditional (formerly known as “normal”) values, has sent a letter to the school outlining a series of concerns which they and the parents demand to be addressed with a timely response.

    A PJI spokesperson said, “The letter sent today by PJI explains that the non-transgender students retain significant privacy rights that are being ignored by the school. The letter also points out that Florence High has not taken minimal precautions such as requiring the student (Pat) to continuously and exclusively identify with one gender. According to student witnesses, he sometimes uses girls’ bathrooms and other times uses boys’ facilities.

    One would think that, since bullying was a supposed argument in favor of the “validity and necessity” for this sensitivity-based policy, that the school stance on Pat’s bullying of the female students would be very strict. That would also belie the fact that the policy is about promoting a gender-neutral world where homosexuality and heterosexuality are at a minimum equivalents.

    Bullying is merely the false pretext through which this policy was driven. Pat is just a convenient and compliant tool.

    The letter sent by the Pacific Justice Institute reminded the Florence High officials of their “legal obligations to protect the privacy and expressive rights of all students — not just a select few.”

    The letter also states that, after meeting with the girls complaining about sharing a bathroom with Pat, school officials recommended that the girls “avoid using the girls’ locker room” and use a different, more remote bathroom instead.

    That remote facility is not available to after school athletes, so that was a pretty useless “solution.” Once again, if viewed from the liberal perspective of forcing the boys and girls into common facilities, it makes perfect sense and is what I call “liberally correct.”

    I’ve got another possible solution to the problem.

    Florence High could just allow poor little confused Pat to use the restroom that is far away and give him a little extra travel time between classes to accommodate his needs. This would be a quick and easy fix, but it doesn’t promote their agenda. It’ll never work.

    The letter comprehensively detailed what PJI said was the legal precedent which upholds the privacy and expressive rights, especially of minor students while attending school.

    The institute has given the school five days to respond in writing to these specific issues it stated in the letter:
    • Recognition of the significant privacy rights of FHS students to not be forced to share bathrooms and locker rooms with members of the opposite biological sex;
    • Providing proposed accommodations that are reasonable and do not involve students foregoing access to locker rooms or most bathrooms as a condition of maintaining their privacy rights;
    • Recognition of the expressive rights of students to discuss matters of public concern, including all sides of current LGBT issues and the students’ own constitutional privacy rights;
    • Explanation in detail of any factual allegations that you consider to be disputed; and
    • Detailing the process you are undertaking to better educate FHS staff of student constitutional rights.

    Liberals are always looking for a way to improve upon nature with their grand ideas. The trouble is, as in this instance, they usually just clutter things up, failing to acknowledge that simple and traditional, while at odds with their agenda, is often also better.

    When I was a kid, we didn’t have this kind of problem. There were no transgender students. There were boys and there were girls. If someone was a homosexual, or of some other inclination, it made no difference. Students used whichever restroom corresponded to the plumbing they were born with. It was pretty simple.

    Pat will probably grow up to be a principal or a school board president somewhere, in another unsuspecting, similarly normal area of the country, ripe for the picking. That is, unless he happens to make a judgment error and harasses the girlfriend of a varsity ball player or other no-nonsense type of male student.

    If that happens, Pat might be on the receiving end of some very sincere encouragement to rethink his sexual liberation, and find himself getting reacquainted with exclusive use of the boys’ restroom. Defending your girlfriend’s honor; some things never change.

    Transgender activists in 'full damage-control mode'
    Remember what you thought when you first heard the idea of allowing transgender boys to use the girls' locker rooms and bathrooms at school?

    You were right.

    That's why school officials are threatening these two girls to shut them up ...

    Transgender boy invades girls' bathroom

    School warns of punishment for teens who report harassment, complain

    Published: 4 hours ago
    Audio / Video at the Page Link:

    Girls at a Colorado high school are being forced to allow an older boy to use their bathrooms as the result of a policy of transgender accommodation, and the girls say they are being threatened with punishment if their complaints don’t stop.

    The debate is happening at Florence High School in Florence, Colo., located near Colorado Springs. Parents of several girls are seeking a legal remedy after their daughters were required to share bathrooms with a male who maintains his true gender identity is that of a woman.

    “First of all, it’s our position that a teenage boy’s presence into the bathroom for teenage girls is inherently harassing,” said Matthew McReynolds, staff attorney at the Pacific Justice Institute, who is representing the families of the girls involved. “It’s inherently violative of their privacy rights. It’s also intimidating when you have a boy like this, who is not a freshman, going in there with younger freshman girls. They feel violated. They feel intimidated, and that’s been expressed to us.”

    The girls further allege the boy has made sexually harassing comments in that setting.

    “Details continue to emerge on this in terms of what what kind of comments may have been made. We’ve heard some reports that he’s commented on what girls are wearing or their figure while in the bathroom. If you can imagine that scenario from the reference and framework of a teenage girl, I think that’s pretty harassing,” said McReynolds, who reiterated that a boy simply being in the girls’ restroom is ample harassment in itself.

    Also galling to the female students and their parents is the backlash the girls have suffered from their own school administrators, who have vowed to punish the students if their protests persist.

    “Some of the students have been warned that they need to stop talking about this. They need to stop talking about their constitutional privacy rights, more or less, or they may face repercussions in areas such as participation on school athletic teams,” McReynolds told WND.

    “What we’re really going for is a solution that can be workable for everybody involved,” he explained. “That’s what we don’t have right now. Our students are in a scenario where they’re being told, ‘If you don’t want to be in this situation where this guy walks in while you’re in the bathroom, then you’ve got to confine yourself to one staff bathroom that is very inconvenient, that’s not even open all the time that they’re on campus for athletic activities and things like that. You just have to give up your right to use the other dozen or so bathrooms on campus. You just have to clear out so that this one other student can do whatever he wants.’”

    He added, “There are workable solutions short of litigation that are available. We hope the school will go that direction. They haven’t given us much indication yet of what they are going to do. There can be solutions that can be acceptable if not perfect to both sides.”

    McReynolds and the Pacific Justice Institute were actively involved in unsuccessful opposition to California’s AB 1266, legislation passed earlier this year to allow self-identifying transgender students to use restrooms designated for the opposite sex. It is scheduled to take effect in January. He said one of many problems with this movement is the lack of a threshold for some to receive transgender recognition.

    “That’s one of the really troubling aspects to this,” he explained. “It depends on who you ask, and it depends on where you go. Here in California, the new law we have really has no standards for how you determine gender identity. That’s fairly consistent as you look around the country and seems to be the case in Colorado as well.

    “Colorado has some specific regulations that refer to situations where students will be in a state of undress, which is obviously one of the big concerns here. It says that reasonable accommodations have to be made for transgender students. There’s a lot of vagueness and haziness in there, but that’s what we’re plowing through in this scenario.”

    But McReynolds said the goal of the transgender activists is very clear: “They would insist that every school district in America is subject to these same kinds of situations and scenarios because of the way that they would interpret federal laws like Title IX and just general definitions of gender.

    “We’re starting to see it all over the place. If you do the math, experts tell us transgender individuals make up about .3 percent of the population. So if you have a high-school campus with a couple thousand kids on it, as is the case in a lot of places, there’s a pretty good likelihood that within that school or within that district, and especially as these kinds of behavior become more bold, you’re going to be seeing more and more of these.”

    Transgender activists are largely dismissing this story, claiming the girls are likely either trying to get the male student in trouble because they don’t like him or concocting stories of harassment because of opposition to the policy. McReynolds is not buying the argument that this is much ado about nothing.

    “If there were nothing to this, I don’t think the school district would be currently conducting a law enforcement investigation, which is what they’re doing,” he said. “Beyond that, you’ve got to ask yourself, when you have somebody who is acting very peculiarly to say the least, sometimes dressing as a girl and sometimes dressing as a boy, why are we indulging that and making everybody else pretend like that is normal, when clearly it’s not?”

    The speed with which issues like this have emerged throughout our culture even surprises McReynolds, but he said the warnings against enabling this movement are already coming true.

    “Just a few years ago, this wasn’t on much of anybody’s radar,” he said. “Now we find ourselves right in the middle of it. Just a few months ago, I testified before the California legislature on AB 1266 on this same issue, and it was just astounding for me to listen to the things being said on the other side. Again and again, we heard there would be no problems with this legislation, that we were just being ‘transphobic’ for suggesting that there might be problems resulting from these kinds of policies.

    “Now, unfortunately, what we predicted is coming true in a number of different locations.”

    In an interview with The Transadvocate, a transgender advocate blog, School Superintendent Rhonda Vendetti claimed only one parent has complained about a transgender student using girls’ bathrooms:

    “Nothing has actually been verified with us,” she said. “This is one parent basically bringing their viewpoint about this situation to the media because they weren’t getting the responses that they hoped they would get from the district, from parents of students at the high school, or from the board and myself. So I think it’s just an attempt to elevate the situation to a point where maybe some more attention can be drawn to that in the hope of having a different outcome. But to our knowledge and based on our investigation, none of those things have actually happened. We do have a transgender student at the high school, and she has been using the women’s restroom. There has not been a situation.

    “All the students of these parents who say they feel uncomfortable just about the fact that the student is allowed to go into the restrooms at the high school, into the stalls, they don’t believe that that is appropriate. That’s where it stems from. … The vast majority of our parents are supportive of the student.”

    Following the interview with Vendetti, PJI said it “urged school officials to immediately identify any factual allegations they considered to be disputed” but received no response as of Thursday.

    President Brad Dacus has accused Vendetti of “seeking sympathy from transgender activists.”

    “Transgender activists are in full damage control mode because they know how explosive and damaging to their cause this story is,” Dacus said in a press release. “The central issue in this case – a high school’s decision to give a biological teenage boy full access to teenage girls’ bathrooms is both disturbing and not seriously disputed. It is very revealing that the superintendent is seeking sympathy from transgender activists instead of addressing the serious concerns raised in our letter.”

    Concerned individuals may contact the Fremont RE-2 School District by phone at (719)784-6312 or by fax at (719)784-4140 and/or contact members of the school board.
