Parents of students at Loudoun County schools spoke out at Tuesday's school board meeting against plans to spend $11 million on a pilot program that would reconstruct bathrooms.
The new bathroom designs are viewed as a move by the district to accommodate transgender and non-binary students, but parents indicated the policy would have other implications for students.
"It is devastating to me that the majority of the school board is focused on flushing millions of dollars down the toilet in unneeded bathrooms in the name of affirmation and inclusion," one parent told school board members. LOUDOUN COUNTRY PUBLIC SCHOOLS HIT WITH LAWSUIT FOR ‘MORAL CORRUPTION OF CHILDREN,’ PARENTAL ‘VIOLATIONS’"For all the students that don’t feel comfortable sharing the restroom with the opposite sex, I see you," another county resident said."You are loved."
Parents and educators spoke out in support or against a transgender student policy at a school board meeting in Loudoun County, Virginia.."The proposal to spend $11 million on an experiment to see how we can have high schoolers, middle schoolers and elementary schoolers sharing the same bathroom … the risks do not outweigh the positive potential social aspects of it."
"What happens when we have overdoses, sexual contact, what happens when we have bullying in places that are private, what happens when Sally comes in and Johnny comes out?" he asked."Figure this out."
