  • Teacher Faces Punishment Over Objections to Girls Taking Showers With Boys

    A Florida school district has been accused of violating the constitutional rights of two physical education teachers after they were ordered to allow a girl who identifies as a boy to share locker room and shower facilities with biological boys.

    The two teachers at Chasco Middle School strongly objected to letting the girl use the facilities because neither the boys nor their parents had been given prior warning.

    “Administrators told them that informing the boys so they could take steps to protect their privacy would be ‘discriminatory,’ and subject them to discipline,” Liberty Counsel wrote in a letter to the Pasco County School Board.

    One of the teachers, who is a male, also objected to school demands that he supervise the locker room despite the fact the girl might be nude or undressed.

    “The administrators told him that the girl in question had ‘every right to use the locker room,’ including the right to disrobe in the open locker area,” Liberty Counsel wrote.

    The religious liberty law firm said physical education teacher “will not knowingly place himself in a position to observe a minor female in the nude or otherwise in a sate of undress.”

    As a result, the school has decided to punish the unnamed teacher by transferring him to another school “for not doing your job in the locker room.”

    According to Liberty Counsel biological boys were literally caught with their pants down when the girl walked into the locker room. The embarrassed boys complained to their teachers – but the teachers were unable to provide any assistance.

    “Administrators had placed a gag order on them, and told them they could not answer the boys on these questions,” Liberty Counsel wrote.

    The law firm accused the school district of violating the rights of both male students at teachers at the school.

    “The Board and the community should be aware that there is no state-wide Florida law recognizing ‘gender identity’ as a protected class,” Liberty Counsel wrote.

    That is what a real teacher does. He is willing to take the hit in exchange for protecting his students.
    "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      What they are neglecting here is understanding how boys are wired. I doubt the boys will object at all to having a naked girl in their locker room. The will enjoy it quite a bit. In fact, they'll probably start encouraging other girls that identify as boys to come join them.

      My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

      If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

      This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

        Not an issue that is often considered in these kinds of situations. The teacher should be commended for taking this stance.

          Other teachers get fired for being in the same room as a female student without clothes on.

            It's a shame that most of the information we have on this incident comes from a heavily biased joke of a source. This article from the Tampa Bay Times only has statements from the school's side, but not a more detailed narrative.

              I think the fact that they have to be naked in front of her is probably a bit embarrassing. This is middle school, not high school.

                So your answer to something you call 'heavily biased' is to give an even more biased source?

                    With other naked guys in the room? And a teacher there? In a hypersensitive environment? I'd think that, for most boys, embarrassment would be more a factor than curiosity.

                      How in the world is that TBT article biased at all, let alone more biased than the Liberty Counsel? Get your head on straight.

                        You said it yourself:

                          I was talking about new information. If you clicked the link, you would have seen that it quotes Liberty Counsel extensively.

                            You should say what you mean then. "only has statements from the school's side" means only statements from the school's side.
