The Gloucester School County Board has been ordered to allow Gavin Grimm (Previously female) to use the boy’s bathroom. The school has a policy that you must use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender you were born. The school had allowed Grimm to use the boy’s bathroom for two weeks previously after he/she brought in proof of his/her transition, but was later revoked. The school points out that while the order forces them to allow Grimm to use the boy’s bathroom, Grimm is not allowed in the boy’s locker room.
The school released the following statement:
” The Gloucester County School Board received the order (G.G. v. Gloucester County School Board) from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia issued by Judge Robert G. Doumar on June 23, 2016. The School Board understands the implications of the order and will continue to defend its reasonable and nondiscriminatory solution to this issue at the Supreme Court and trial court levels.”
Grimm is elated:
“I am elated to hear that I’ll be able to attend my senior year of high school with my full rights restored. After nearly two years of humiliation and intense struggle, equality has finally prevailed. Now hopefully other transgender people will not have to face this type of discrimination.”
Yes, we mustn’t be discriminatory against subjecting our kids to perversion. That just isn’t right.
From The Daily Caller:
Last year, Grimm sued the Gloucester School County Board with the American Civil Liberties Union because the school board’s policy said that students must use the bathroom according to the sex they were born with or use a single occupancy bathroom. A federal appeals court in April overturned a lower court decision and told Grimm that he could continue with his lawsuit, according to ABC News.
