Illinois school reaches deal on “transgender student” locker room question, satisfying nobody

Just over a month ago we talked about Township High School District 211 in Illinois and how they were ordered by the Department of Education to allow a “transgender” boy to use the girls’ locker room and showers. Failure to do so would result in a massive loss of federal funding. The school system administrators, in a rare display of common sense when faced with politically correct but socially destructive and scientifically bogus mandates, actually pushed back. They did not wish to simply allow a boy to shower with the young girls simply because he claimed to be one himself.

Trouble was on the horizon, but District 211 came back this week with a compromise which was designed to alleviate all the hurt feelings and still comply with the federal order. Let’s see how that works out. (Yahoo News)

A suburban Chicago school district said on Thursday it reached a deal with the U.S. government over locker room access for a transgender student, but the civil rights group representing the student said the agreement fell short of its hopes.

Township High School District 211 in Palatine, Illinois, said it will provide changing areas in the girls’ locker room for the student, who has not been named, and for other students, within 30 days.

The seven-member school board held a special meeting on Wednesday evening, heard public comments and then voted 5-2 early on Thursday to approve the deal reached with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR).

The OCR last month found the school district discriminated against the student and gave it a month to provide full locker room access. At stake were millions of dollars in annual federal funds for the district of five high schools west of Chicago.
