I really do love being proved right!

I had previously said that school districts which kept students “gender transitions” secret from their parents will have opened the districts to humongous lawsuits.

More parents claim Colorado school district forced children into overnight rooms with students of opposite sex

Multiple parents claim their child was forced to stay in overnight accommodations with transgender students.

More parents have come forward with claims that children in a Colorado school district were forced into sharing overnight rooms, even showers, with students of the opposite sex.

For whatever reasons they have, Fox News is now requiring readers to provide their email addresses to see the articles. If you want to check the original I used, you can access it here without going through more idiocy.

Christian parents Joe and Serena Wailes said their 11-year-old daughter was allegedly forced into sharing her bed with a biological male who identified as a girl on an overnight trip at Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) in December.

Since the Wailes spoke out, more parents have come forward with similar reports.

At the district’s Outdoor Lab retreat, where 6th grade students travel to the mountains for a science trip, a group of middle school girls had a student who identifies as trans, placed in their cabin without the knowledge of their parents, according to ADF. In addition, a high school counselor, who was a girl identifying as a boy, was put in charge of a cabin of sixth grade boys.

In December, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) sent a demand letter to JCPS on behalf of the Wailes alleging that its policy of “hiding information from parents and lying to students is unconstitutional.” As more information has come forward, ADF sent a second letter to the district, claiming their demands were “misinterpreted,” expressing concern that JCPS still failed “to state whether parents can opt their children out of any policy that rooms children by gender identity rather than sex.”

You know, I get it: there really are people out there who believe that someone can simply ‘identify’ as the opposite sex, and that makes that person the opposite sex. I happen to think that’s dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks level stupidity, but certainly concede that there are some people who really are as dumb as a box of rocks!

But public school teachers and decision-taking level administrators are all at least supposed to be educated, to have bachelor’s degrees, and most are required to either have, or be working on, earning their master’s. They really can’t not know that doing things like that is going to open the school district, and perhaps themselves individually, to huge lawsuits.

The problem is that there are competing interests:

• The right to privacy of the ‘transitioning’ student. The left believe this to be paramount.
• Parents’ right to know if their children are trying to ‘transition’, because parents are responsible for their children.
• The privacy rights of other students, which requires that these other students, and their families, be aware of any particular student who is ‘transitioning,’ when situations of loss of privacy occurs, such as in bathrooms, locker rooms, and dormitories.

‘Transitioning’ students can have an interest in keeping such private, to reduce the probabilities that such students will be bullied, mocked, or otherwise harassed. It is difficult for such to be kept unknown, unless the student moves to a completely different school, because ‘transition’ during school will otherwise be known to all of the other students who knew thee ‘transitioning’ student prior to beginning ‘transition.’

It is difficult to imagine parents who are unaware that their children are attempting to ‘transition’, but such becomes more likely in the event that the parents are separated or divorced, and the custodial parent is trying to keep the information from the non-custodial one.

Other students do not have any particular right to know another is ‘transitioning’ in normal, public interactions, such as in the classroom. However, in situations in which students have to change clothes or undress, such as physical education or sports team locker rooms, or in which bodily privacy is compromised, such as single-sex bathrooms, or in dormitory or hotel room assignments. Many students, and many parents, will be uncomfortable or have safety concerns when students of the opposite sex, even if one is attempting to ‘transition’ to the same ‘gender,’ are assigned or otherwise pushed into privacy situations.

It’s easy enough to see why some students or parents would be uncomfortable in the situation in which the Wailes’ 11-year-old daughter found herself: there have already been cases in which a ‘transgender woman,’ by which I mean a male who ‘identified’ as a woman and was housed in a women’s prison in New Jersey had sexual intercourse with and impregnated two female inmates. The New York Post reported that the ‘transgender’ inmate, Demetrius Minor, is a psychopath, and it isn’t difficult to believe that a lot of parents would see the ‘transgendered’ as mentally ill in some manner. How can anyone trust an 11-or-12-year old boy, regardless of how he ‘identifies’, sharing a bed with an 11-year-old girl?

The left will claim, of course, that such a fear is not respecting the ‘gender identity’ of the ‘transitioning’ student, but there’s already evidence that just because someone claims to identify as a particular gender does not mean that he has lost his heterosexual attraction.

Therein lies the problem: the left want people to agree that a ‘transgender’ person really is the sex he claims to be, rather than his biological sex, but not everybody does so. And there is no reasonable way to reconcile these two opposite positions; they are diametrically opposite.

Perhaps that’s why the teachers and administration of Jefferson County Public Schools took the decisions that they did, but anyone with an IQ above room temperature should have foreseen that problems could arise. The duty of school officials is to protect the schools, not cater to ‘transgenderism.’
