    If there had been a person with a vagina in the boys locker room in high school, I'd have been happy about that as a teenager.

    At the very least i wouldn't be butthurt about it. How about we don't bully people at all, huh?

        In the video, which became public in May, one boy can be heard asking, “There’s a girl in here?” Another adds, “Why is there a girl? I’m so uncomfortable there is a girl.” Their comments prompted another boy to insist that the trans student leave.

        Right wingers see a video on line and assume it's the full story and get their collective panties in a twist. However, the school district, which cannot legally release any detailed information about the investigation and punishment had this to say:

        “At no time would LCPS suspend a student simply because they expressed some kind of discomfort. A reading of our Title IX resources should make it clear that there is a high bar to launch a Title IX investigation and an even higher bar to determine a student is in violation of Title IX.”

        I'm thinking this went a little bit further than a couple students whining and must have turned a fair bit worse.

          And right wing iPads. They’re absorbing some really terrible stuff without supervision, or even with mild supervision and guidance it still gets through.

            School bullies are tolerated for the same reason police tolerate the proud boys. The Christian agenda is to raise their kids to be Christian Soldiers terrorizing Queer kids and we're apparently supposed to go along with letting it happen. Fuck that.

                      I don't give a shit if the student is trans or not. Bullying is bullying and SHOULD result in suspension. This shouldn't even be a fucking story but here we are because a parent can't take accountability for the fact that their kid was acting shitty

                              I dealt with them enough people that my response to crybulling is to laugh in their face and dare them to throw a punch. Which is surprisingly effective when you are a five five dude who pulls off the wildman look quite well.

                                Can we not do the "boys should be grateful" thing please? It's one step away from "Niiiice" and two away from "An erection is consent". It's not particularly helpful yo reduce a transmasc to "a person with a vagina" either.

                                      Depends on the situation, but schools act in loco parentis, assuming the responsibility of the parent while the child is in their custody.

                                      The legal argument, which has been upheld by courts, is that parents don't have to respect 1st amendment rights regarding the discipline of their children, so therefore schools don't either.

                                      And it makes sense if you think about it. A kid shouldn't be able to disrupt class, sling racial slurs, verbally assault another student or teacher, etc. with impunity. The situation in the article is a prime example of this.

                                      I also found out the hard way that they don't have to respect your 5th and 6th amendment rights either, as I was questioned without being read my rights, and that was used against me in court.

                                          Have you seen the courts lately? they've turned themselves into a farce with ever more flagrant anti-constitutional rulings. Citing them doesn't hold the gravity it once did
