Perkins County Schools suspended their policy on transgender people using identity-appropriate restrooms after the superintendent received death threats.
Controversy over a Georgia school district's restroom policy for transgender individuals has led to death threats.When the decision was announced at a school board meeting on October 14, both supporters and detractors of the policy were vocal about their opinions,"I would never in my life use a restroom in which a female is in," said parent Nathan Barfield."No person's rights are more important than anyone else.
"Bottom line is it's God's word," said Sandy Bartlett, another Pickens County parent."God made them male and female. And I think as people, as humans, as adults we have to be careful about our words, even around our own children." Pickens County High graduate Jordan Stewart, who came out as gay during his junior year, was on the opposite side of the issue.
"By the way, a trans woman is a woman, a trans man is a man," Stewart said."You're a man walking into a bathroom with other men. People are trying to do their business, get in and get out. That's it."
