SCHOOL INVESTIGATES STUDENTS WHO CHOSE TO USE PRIVATE BATHROOM FOR IMPLICIT
‘HARASSMENT’ OF TRANSGENDERS

Superintendent said students could use the nurse's bathroom if transgender
policy made them uncomfortable. The line for that bathroom got so long that he
called it harassment.

After an Illinois school implemented a policy that allowed students who said
they were transgender to use the bathroom of their choice, it said
non-transgender students who were uncomfortable with the decision could opt to
use the bathroom in the nurse’s office. What the school failed to anticipate was
that so many students took it up on the offer that the line for the nurse’s
bathroom began forming down the hall.

The miscalculation caused the superintendent to say the students were
“harassing” the transgender students by opting for the private
bathroom, according to records obtained by Parents Defending Education and
shared first with The Daily Wire.

“When biologically male high school students came forward and stated they were
uncomfortable with biological female students using male restrooms, we told
those students they could use the nurse’s office restroom,” Waterloo Community
Unit School District #5 Superintendent Brian Charron wrote to parents on March
17. “It was an effort to support those students’ comfort, but unfortunately, it
resulted in a disruption.”

“The male students planned to use the nurse’s office restroom at the same time,
resulting in a line,” he said, saying that students coordinated to use the
bathroom at the same time to highlight how the new bathroom policy affected
them.

“This line grew dramatically throughout the day with male and female students,
filling the hallway and causing students to be tardy to or miss classes. These
actions were not the appropriate way to send a message to the School District.
We are investigating this behavior as planned harassment of transgender
students,” he wrote, the records show.



Some students were already punished by being marked tardy or absent for waiting
for the bathroom stall, he wrote. “Students who attempt to repeat today’s
actions will be disciplined for attempting to cause a disruption in school,” the
letter said.

Days before Charron’s letter, the school board had passed a policy that said
transgender students could use the wrong restroom as long as the student
developed a “Gender Identity Plan” with school officials.

Caroline Moore, Vice President of Parents Defending Education, said that it’s
not “harassment” for students to choose a private restroom.



“Students have every right to push back on school policies that do not align
with their belief systems. It is not harassment,” Moore said. “What should be
considered school inflicted harassment is allowing students to use locker
rooms/bathrooms that do not align with their biological sex and creating
situations of potential physical violence and sexual assault on school
property.”

Documents produced by Waterloo in response to the public records request also
included a training presentation that included a “gender unicorn.” The
presentation said that the “schools’ obligations” are to “act in loco parentis,”
and “not reveal students’ identities to anyone else (including the students’
families) without students’ permission.”

The training included a copy of something similar to the Gender Identity Plan, a
document from the activist group Gender Spectrum called the “Gender Support
Plan,” which explains that “school staff, caregivers (if appropriate) and the
student should work together to develop the document” on “how the student’s
authentic gender will be accounted for and supported at school.”



Gender Spectrum shuttered abruptly last month after the documents it was pushing
to schools, which encouraged children to identity as “foxgender” and conspired
to help school staff conceal students’ gender transition from parents, gained
attention. The group had a lucrative contract with California schools, but
yanked its materials off the internet once parents became aware of its agenda,
replacing its website with a message that said that, “Gender Spectrum is ceasing
all direct service programming as of Wednesday, September 27, 2023.”

Superintendent Charron did not answer a question asking how many students had
been disciplined for using the nurse’s bathroom, but told The Daily Wire that
its “gender support plan was not devised by Gender Spectrum and the District has
no relationship with Gender Spectrum.”

The documents obtained by PDE also showed that the district’s own staff was
trying to undermine the part of the policy that required parental sign-off. An
English teacher who is sponsor of Waterloo High School’s “Diversity Club”
claimed that parental rights were limited to the classroom, not the bathroom —
and that school counselors, not parents, should be involved in
gender-transitioning minors.

“I think it’s a great idea to have students work with a school social
worker/counselor to develop a Gender Identity Plan,” but “as it is written, it
creates more problems than it solves by requiring parent involvement,” she wrote
March 3, seeking to get the then-draft policy modified.

“I wholeheartedly disagree that the ‘parental involvement’ in a student’s
education, as referenced in [a parents’ rights policy], has anything to do with
gender identity and bathroom facilities.”

The Diversity Club sponsor is Maggie Partipilo, whose classroom website is
inundated with gay paraphernalia.



Waterloo school district said, in a document shared with parents, that lawyers
told it that it had no choice but to allow transgender bathroom use because of
the Illinois Human Rights Act. That act “seemingly has an exemption for restroom
and locker room facilities,” with the law saying that “restrooms, shower rooms…
may grant exemptions based on bona fide considerations of public policy,” the
document said. However, the Illinois Appellate Court overrode that by saying
that sex “cannot be construed to include any requirement based on reproductive
organs or anatomy,” it said.

It cited precedent saying that in 2018, the Illinois Human Rights Commission
“found Komarek School District 94 liable for committing sexual orientation
discrimination” for not letting a nine-year old who said she was transgender use
the boys communal restrooms instead of a private one, dismissing concerns about
the “comfort level” of other nine-year olds.

In 2019, it “similarly determined that Lake Park CHSD 108 violated the rights of
a transgender high school student” by requiring him to change behind a privacy
curtain in the locker room.
