The following is from our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom:
A Colorado school district assigned a 5th-grade girl to share a room – and even a bed – with a boy who identified as a girl during an overnight trip.
Joe and Serena Wailes said their daughter had been greatly looking forward to the school-sponsored trip to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. But when she got to her hotel room, the student with whom she was supposed to share a bed informed her that he was a boy who identified as a girl.
The Waileses’ daughter was then put in multiple uncomfortable situations before school chaperones finally changed her room assignment. Even then, chaperones on the trip told her to lie about the reason for the switch.
The Waileses were not informed about the District Policy that rooms children by gender identity rather than sex prior to the trip, so they had no way to request an accommodation so their daughter did not share a bed with a boy. School districts should be allowing parents to make the best decisions for their children and providing the information required to make informed decisions. Instead, the district jeopardized the privacy of the Waileses’ daughter and deprived the parents of their right to make important decisions for their child.
