    Union Demands Kids Share Bathroom With Transgender Educators

    As the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) faces a lawsuit over its policy on student gender identity, it’s being accused of discriminating against transgender teachers in the bathroom.On Tuesday, Madison Teachers Inc. (MTI) fired out a press release asserting it supports equal restroom access for MMSD students and staff. The union doesn’t like the district’s directive to Frank Allis Elementary school staff to “limit their use of restroom facilities to the single person restroom.”
    The union’s Equity and Diversity Committee, as well as MTI’s board of directors, released a statement saying that they “stand with Vica Steel and all our transgender, gender non-binary, lesbian, gay, bisexual, ***** or questioning, intersex, and asexual or allied (LGBTQIA) staff.”
    Steel is a transgender science teacher at Frank Allis. In a letter published in Our Lives Magazine last month, Steel claims that she used the women’s/girls’ bathroom across from her classroom beginning in January after coming out last March. The district received a complaint and asked the elementary school’s principal to come up with a policy barring staff from using the same bathrooms as students.


    “MTI supports staff’s and students’ right to fully exercise their individually identified expression in an environment free from discrimination of any kind,” the union said.
    In short, MTI supports transgender women (who used to be men) or men transitioning into women (and vice versa) using student bathrooms.
    If all access is granted to transgender and transitioning students, then it must be applied to teachers, the union insists.

    Do we really need laws permitting known weirdos access to children in the restroom?

    If they've gotta pass laws then require weirdos to use the staff bathrooms.

    If we have weirdos invading the wrong bathrooms we may.

    But normal people can do it for themselves if the government and the left get out of the way.

    [... S]trangely, you never seem to apply your disdain for these metaphorical "bathroom police" to actual, literal "bathroom police". So far as I can tell, you have had nary a disparaging word to say about actual, literal government-credentialed "cops" with actual. literal police powers who actually and literally dictate who must be allowed to use what bathrooms and who mete out actual, literal punishments when those dictates are violated.

    Why is that, Zippy?

    Here are a few examples from just one recent thread:

    Good question. Why don't you go ask Karl Racine?

    Good advice. Why don't you go tell it to Karl Racine?

    Who is "this person"?

    With whom was "this person" denied the freedom to associate?

    I'm still waiting for answers to each of those questions.

    Are you ever going to answer them? Or even just address them?
