South Western’s elected school board is making some strange decisions.
For the last two years, they’ve fixated on which bathrooms LGBTQ+ kids use. In 2023, officials in this Hanover-area district played musical chairs with school bathrooms in a misguided attempt to appease the loudest bigots among them — ending up with five different types of bathrooms.
After a low-turnout school board election in which several far-right members joined their ranks, they hired a Christian law firm, decided to begin banning books and reopened the bathroom issue. Board President Matthew Gelazela, who was elevated to his post after previously serving as the board’s most vocal bomb-thrower, pointed to Red Lion’s discriminatory policies as something to aspire to.
Now, upon the advice of that law firm — the Harrisburg-based Independence Law Center — the board approved spending $8,700 to cut windows so passersby can look into the so-called “gender-identity” student bathrooms.
man from the child molester party wants windows in childrens bathrooms for totally not molester reasons.
And the school board president ran as a member of the “Libertarian Party”.
starting to think the anti trans crusaders are just paedophiles looking to legitimise paedophilia.
Pedo-con theory is a “theory”, like the theory of Gravity is “only a theory.”
This won’t help much, hard to tell much just by someone’s face. What we need here is a window specifically for viewing the children’s genitalia. And then we need a dedicated monitor to watch all the children use the bathroom.
John, the repressed religious fundamentalist, has already volunteered. We’ve designed a room where he can monitor the genitalia from the holes we’ve cut, and we’ve also installed cameras inside the urinals and toilets with a feed that goes to the monitoring room, in case anyone tries to defeat our system.
The monitoring room has no windows or cameras in it, and the door locks from the inside, so, I think we’ve finally solved the problem. Consider the liberals owned!
What fucking law firm approved this? Must be one Trump uses. Because letting people look in on underage kids in the bathroom must be unconstitutional not to mention illegal? If that was going on in my kids school I be suing.
So, we’ve created the Toilet Safety Administration. Wonderful.
Wow that’s a pretty disgusting clip even for Southpark
Disgusting? Yes.
Accurate? Also yes, unfortunately.
Conservative Christians increase their involvement and within a year the children’s bathroom has a viewport for pedophiles installed.
They go on and on about how they don’t want the dangerous transgenders in the bathroom, but now anyone can peek in to confirm… What, exactly? It’s not like the windows are in the stalls, so just for them assume someone gender? “You look too feminine, no boys room for you. Sorry, too masculine, no ladies room.” What’s next, strip searches? Wtf is it with them and the bathroom…
Wtf is it with them and the bathroom…
They really love people’s gentials. The younger the genital, the better.
What’s next, strip searches?
Hardly “what’s next”. This has been a fixation by conservatives since since the Obama Administration
Aimee Toms was washing her hands in the women’s bathroom at Walmart in Danbury Friday when a stranger approached her and said, “You’re disgusting!” and “You don’t belong here!”
After momentary confusion, she realized that the woman next to her thought — because of her pixie-style haircut and baseball cap — that she was transgender.
Longer than that, even! Circa 2003/04 my 14 year old ass was getting chewed out by shitty Karens because they couldn’t fathom the idea of a young teen girl sporting a pixie cut and wearing baggy metal tees, skate jeans and vans. I’ve actually resorted - more than once - to showing my used menstrual products as proof. Well, more as a way to harass them back, but. You know.
Joke’s on me, though, I guess, since I’m actually genderfluid lol.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a window in your child’s bathroom to watch them pee, is a good guy with a window in your child’s bathroom to watch them pee
Yeah… Protect me from those creeps watching my kid in the bathroom… wait…
Perverts and child abusers, the lot.
They’re so concerned about what’s going on inside children’s pants that they now was to watch them in bathroom.
Sounds pretty fucking weird to me
Whoever approved this is clearly very weird.
Yeah, is this not like blatantly pedophilic? Very weird
pedophilic
And yet, I don’t see any evidence of drag queen or gay involvement.
Nothing new here lol. Every accusation etc etc
😆
Conservatives are cockroaches.
Now, upon the advice of that law firm — the Harrisburg-based Independence Law Center — the board approved spending $8,700 to cut windows so passersby can look into the so-called “gender-identity” student bathrooms.
Anyone want to take a bet that someone at the law firm or on the school board, really loves to sexual assault children?
You’ve always got to show up for those school board elections now. Every. Single. Time.
Or live in Houston and the governor can just strip your School Board of power, then install an unelected bureaucrat to loot the school treasury.
Tread on me, daddy.
Mmmmm Texasy
Texussy
Yeah we’re the freest state in the union as long as your chosen freedom conforms with the Republican agenda.
These are the people who continually call everyone on the left “groomers” and taking an unhealthy interest in kids? The same people cutting peepholes into school bathrooms?
Anyone who shows up to a school board meeting to complain about bathrooms should automatically have the police sent to look at their hard drive. If you’re that concerned about the bathroom habits of young children, the cops really need to look at your internet history and the contents of your hard drive.
Drag wants to complain about bathrooms at schools. If we segregate the bathrooms at schools, we’re teaching kids that segregation is okay. We should be preparing the next generation to have less hangups and weird behaviour than we do. The kids already all have mixed gender bathrooms at home. They won’t think anything of desegregating bathrooms, and it’ll create a less sexist society.
If you’re gonna talk about desegregating bathrooms I think it’s important to talk about designing bathrooms for greater privacy as well. Ideally you don’t want a bunch of urinals lined up across from the sink / common area with no dividers in a desegregated bathroom. It’s a bad idea to just remove the signs on existing public bathroom designs and say anything goes.
Also, why do you keep referring to yourself in the 3rd person?
Every accusation is an admission. Never forget it.
This seems to be a pretty blatant violation of IBC chapter 21 1210.3
Throwing out codes when you don’t know any details about the situation is classic lemmy brain
Hot take
Dang I didn’t realize root beer has so many rules.
Sassafras, one of the main traditional ingredients in the manufacture of root beer, is carcinogenic and has been banned in the US since 1960. There are a surprising number of rules surrounding root beer.
That doesn’t seem to be a code? Are you talking about the cope lintel and I guess 2104.1.1?
*oh that’s some 2021 version change. PA is on 2018 and chapter 21 is masonry which got me to the other violation.
You can violate 2021 IBC all you want in PA because it isn’t adopted code. 2018 only cares about privacy for urinal partitions and the enclosed stalls which weren’t touched.
