According to records obtained by Parents Defending Education, non-transgender students who were uncomfortable with students who said they were transgender to use the bathroom of their choice were accused of “harassment.”
“When biologically male high school students came forward and stated they were uncomfortable with biological female students using male restrooms, we told those students they could use the nurse’s office restroom,” Waterloo Community Unit School District #5 Superintendent Brian Charron wrote to parents in March 2023.
“It was an effort to support those students’ comfort, but unfortunately, it resulted in a disruption.”
“The male students planned to use the nurse’s office restroom at the same time, resulting in a line,” he continued.
Charron claimed that students sending a message of being uncomfortable were “harassing” transgender students.
“This line grew dramatically throughout the day with male and female students, filling the hallway and causing students to be tardy to or miss classes. These actions were not the appropriate way to send a message to the School District. We are investigating this behavior as planned harassment of transgender students,” Charron continued.
From The Daily Wire:
Days before Charron’s letter, the school board had passed a policy that said transgender students could use the wrong restroom as long as the student developed a “Gender Identity Plan” with school officials. Caroline Moore, Vice President of Parents Defending Education, said that it’s not “harassment” for students to choose a private restroom.
