California school district pressured by feds to open boys’ locker room to transgendered girl

A California-based legal group says the Obama administration should be "ashamed" of forcing a school district in that state to cater to the LGBT agenda. A school district in a Los Angeles suburb has decided to allow a transgender girl who identifies as a boy to use the boys' locker room and restrooms after pressure from the Obama administration. The Arcadia school board last week passed a resolution that ends a civil rights investigation by the Department of Education into the school district.

"This is an outrageous violation of the privacy of all students involved,” says Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute. “It is an inhumane way of addressing students who do have gender-identity issues and need proper counseling and proper support."

The student started living as a male in fifth grade and is now entering ninth grade. The Department of Justice received complaints in October 2011 that the Arcadia Unified School District did not allow her to use the boys' restrooms and locker rooms. The complaints also alleged that when she was in seventh grade, the student was not allowed to sleep in a cabin with male students during a district-sponsored overnight field trip and was asked to stay in a separate cabin instead. The Obama administration told the school district that failure to comply with federal civil rights policies would be considered sex-based discrimination.
