Hundreds of high school students staged a walkout after their school district said transgender students may use any restroom.
The policy was proposed by local father Tim Jagger, who said that his daughter had become “too upset and emotionally disturbed” to walk into school restrooms after allegedly having seen a biological male in a woman’s restroom on campus.
“Kids were upset. Girls — we wanted to protect them. They were upset. They didn’t want men in their bathroom,” Perkiomen Valley student John Ott, who organized the walkout, told Fox News. “The safety of females is so important, and these students that stood out, that walked out, they are to be commended,” she said. “They have courage, and they exercise their First Amendment rights. This is about protecting our children, and our privacy, and boys and girls.”Victoria Rudolph, another Perkiomen Valley student, told the outlet, “There needs to be some changes. It’s just uncomfortable seeing 19-year-old men or 18-year-old men in the bathroom.
Meanwhile, superintendent Barbara Russell is defending the board’s decision, claiming that “gender identification” is a “protected class.”
