PENNSYLVANIA — Hundreds of students at a Pennsylvania high school walked out of class Friday to protest a decision that allows transgender students to use whichever bathroom they choose. John Ott organized the walkout after the Perkiomen Valley School District opted not to adopt a policy that would force students to use restrooms which correspond with their biological sex. “Kids were upset. Girls… we wanted to protect them. They were upset. They didn’t want men in their bathroom,” Ott told FOX News. John’s mother Stephanie said the district violated the rights of its female students. “The safety of females is so important and these students that stood out that walked out, they are to be commended. They have courage and they exercise their First Amendment rights,” she said. “This is about protecting our children and our privacy and boys and girls. It’s simple biology.” Policy 720 was proposed when a parent named Tim Jagger said his daughter felt “too upset and emotionally disturbed” to walk into school bathrooms after allegedly having an encounter with a male using the facilities. “There is zero reason for someone with male genitalia to be in the girls’ facilities,” Jagger said. “It’s a simple matter of biology, safety, personal space.” Under the proposed policy, multi-use restrooms and locker rooms designated for one sex will be used only by that sex. Students who identify as transgender may instead use single-use restrooms if they prefer. School District Shoots Down New Trans Bathroom Rules Perkiomen Valley School Board President Jason Saylor supported the changes. “Do we think it’s accurate and fair that students should have access to any bathroom they want depending on how they identify? Do we think that’s appropriate? It’s my personal opinion. I don’t,” Saylor told WPVI-TV in Philadelphia. #pennsylvania #pennsylvaniaisbeautiful #walkout #protest #breaking #trans #transpride #lgbtqa #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtqmemes #lgbtqpride #loveisloveislove #pride🌈 #tolerance
