Demonstrating the consequences of school board policies

ht: B

A mother in California decided that, after months of speaking to her local school board about allowing boys into girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms (and getting nowhere), that she was show them.

So she started to strip at the podium (she was wearing a bathing suit).

‘I wanted to give them more of a visual, what does it really look like changing and what would it feel like [to have] somebody of the opposite sex watching you change.’

Bourne said she now feels she got her point across.

‘If the adults don’t feel comfortable watching someone – and I’m a 50-year-old woman – how can they expect girls to feel comfortable doing that in the locker room?’ she asked, rhetorically.

‘The more open dialogue, open debate we can have on topics that are controversial, I think, we are going to end up having a safer society,’ she added.

Of course the school board had her hauled out and charged with disturbing the peace.

Their reaction was not unlike the school boards where parents read from books allowed in public school libraries. They were silenced due to the content.

A Georgia school board member cut off a mother reading sexually explicit content from a book available to high school students in the district, saying the passage was “inappropriate” for any children to potentially hear.

“Excuse me, we have children at home,” Cherokee County school board member identified as Patsy Jordan told the angry mother after she read a sexually-charged passage from the book “Homegoing.” The school board member pointed out that the meeting was being livestreamed and said reading the passage was “inappropriate.”

“Don’t you find the irony in that?” the parent responded. “You’re exactly saying exactly what I’m telling you! You’re giving it to our children! I would never give this to my children!”

But the boards can’t stand to actually have the consequences of their policies shown to them. So they use the force of law to remove the people holding up the mirror to them.
