The Massachusetts Commissioner of Education has released an outline of its new school policy regarding gender equality, mandating that boys be allowed to use girls restrooms and locker rooms — and vice versa — if they contend that they prefer to identify with the opposite gender. The 11-page document, written by Mitchell Chester, is stated to be in response to a gender identity law that was passed last July in the state. “This guidance is intended to help school and district administrators take steps to create a culture in which transgender and gender nonconforming students feel safe, supported, and fully included, and to meet each school’s obligation to provide equal educational opportunities for all students, in compliance with G.L. c. 76, §5 and the state regulations,” it states. As part of the outline, entitled Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity, Chester explains that students need to be permitted to use whichever bathroom or locker room they wish. He states that as long as the child asserts that they would rather identify with the opposite gender, they should have the access that they desire. What could possibly go wrong. What young boy would ever dare say he wanted to use the girls' locker room for a little education!! |

The best answer now is to put a third, gender neutral washroom in all new facilities moving forward. Not added space but divide the washroom square footage into 3 instead of 2. A lot of places have this already. |

or better yet.....deal with it. At most schools now the kids go with a same sex friend or friend to prevent being beaten up or soliciated for drug sales. Use the buddy system. |
