Missouri school’s decision to open restrooms to the opposite sex jeopardizes students’ privacy

HILLSBORO, Mo. – Alliance Defending Freedom sent a letter to the Hillsboro R-3 School District Board of Education Monday that asks it to reverse a recent decision by district staff to allow students to use locker rooms and restrooms of the opposite sex. The letter provides a suggested policy that addresses the school district’s concerns about discrimination without allowing the sharing of restrooms.

The ADF letter explains that no law requires public schools to allow boys into girls’ restrooms or girls into boys’ restrooms. In fact, the district could be exposing itself to legal liability for violating students’ right to bodily privacy.

“Protecting students from inappropriate exposure to the opposite sex is not only perfectly legal, it’s a school district’s duty,” said ADF Legal Counsel Matt Sharp. “Letting boys into girls’ locker rooms and restrooms is an invasion of privacy and a threat to student safety.”

How about how many coaches having sex with boys? Would never have happened when I was growing up. The boys would have took care of the perverts.

You would have never known about it. The predators prey on the weakest and neediest and most trusting, and the crimes remain in the shadows.

Home school. If you send your kids to public school all they learn is what the gov't wants them to know.
