Girls 'Harassed' In School Bathroom By Transgender Student Told His Rights Trump Their Privacy

Unequal: Florence (CO) High School has put the rights of a transgendered boy above those of girls he is harassing in female restroomsThe rights of a transgendered Colorado high school student are being put ahead of girls the boy harasses in the girls bathroom.
A male student at Florence (CO) High School who claims to be transgendered has caused controversy by harassing female students in the girls room, but will not face any discipline – this despite vocal protests from the girls’ parents.
‘The boy’s rights as a transgender trump their daughters’ privacy rights,’ the school has told concerned parents, according to CBN.
Unidentified because all involved are minors, the students are being threatened with removal from sports teams or even hate crime charges if they continue to voice concerns, said the site.
The school even suggested the girls give up some or most of their restrooms in order to accommodate their transgendered classmate.
The response outraged parents and the Pacific Justice Institute, a civil rights group who wrote a letter to the school the demanding an explanation.
