​@@jasonbarnett7747So by your standards it's okay for an 11 year old girl to be assigned to share a bed against her will, as long as it's not recorded on video and monetized? See, this is one reason why I believe free speech must include speech that others find offensive. The free expression of ideas lets people know who and what someone is simply by their own, openly stated beliefs.

The sick thing is that there are many who think the girl and her parents are transphobic because they refused to support this madness. When the school told them to keep it a secret that clearly shows the school knows it’s wrong.

[@lindaday4734]

When I was growing up I was told if someone tells you to keep immoral things a secret, that is so wrong. That has always been an indicator of perversion of adults against children.

Sadly, the school did not care about the psychological trauma caused to that girl ; if it wasn't an issue the girl would never complain to her mum about that incident. "The question why me??

Hate to say this, but these parents are enabling this whole process by being so "nice", and not raising hell with (and suing) the school board, the school, and the teachers who approved this. Saying "we like our school district and our school, and it's teachers" is a cop out. We don't want to appear as though we disagree, or that we are making waves taking a stance here, but we just want OUR daughter out of this situation. What about the girl who they assign to replace your daughter?

[@tiggerwigger9135]

I agree. Usually those that are told they can't speak are either on their way to court or have taken some kind of payment and signed an agreement. They didn't say that but it's possible with the lawyer there and maybe this isn't the full video(?) I was also wondering if the boy was older bc they didn't disclose his age and it's possible that more than one grade was on a trip like that. The parents whole reaction and statements are odd to me; they "discussed what to do" or "whether she should come home"? The Mom was there! I would have had my daughter in my room asap but that isn't mentioned either. This whole thing isn't making sense, but then what does anymore. Reminds me of the movie The Stepford wives.

I grew up in a wonderful Christian home but one side effect was we were taught not to make trouble. I didn't even think to report pot smoking on the school bus to my dad . Living in nyc taught me to scold dummies

[@KatieBellino]

The problem is likely that the school board did not think through how their policy affected teachers trying to plan an overnight trip...I'm guessing it's a "treat them as if they are biologically the gender they say" policy. The teachers and principal/assistant principal(s) of the school wouldn't be who you sue. It would be more at the district level. Even then, the policy doesn't necessarily go against what is recognized at a national level right now, so good luck winning. Students always shared queen sized beds on school/club trips at hotels to keep costs down (at least where I'm from). Unfortunately, this may need to be rethought, which makes trips unaffordable for many. Alternatively, a policy could at the very least be adopted that you do 3 students in a room in the case of a trans student, so that the trans student can have a bed to themself. Ideally, that student is in a room by themself or with another trans student, but enacting that policy can be tricky because of socially isolating the student (grounds for the trans family to sue).

I would not continue to support any school, principal or teacher that went along with such a "district policy".

That's why my grandchildren go to a Christian private school. I realize most people can't do that, but the boy sleeping in the same bed as a girl is unthinkable even if he claims he thinks of himself as a female. Even sleeping in the same room would be unacceptable, but in the same bed is disgustingly obscene and incomprehensible. As a mother and a sponsor on the field trip, I would have had her sleep with me without asking permission to do so. There's definitely something disturbingly wrong with our public schools to allow such a thing to happen and then want to hide the situation. The psychologically confused young man(he definitely has gender dysphoria) doesn't have more rights than the young lady who was forced to sleep with him by a morally bankrupt school district.

"After the age of 5 could not even share the same BEDROOM!" Presumably, those rules are about what is acceptable for a long-term sleeping arrangement for a child with trauma (the need for privacy) and not about what is acceptable for 1-2 nights on a school trip. Remember, it is widely accepted to have a roommate in a dormitory at college, so the own room thing is not really about appropriateness. The school is following an accepted societal norm minus the sleeping in a bed with a trans child of the opposite born gender. I went on Band, French Class, Academic Decathlon, Church Youth Group, and regular school trips as a child (graduated in 2006). With the exception of camping/dorm situations with cabins/bunks, we always were four students in a room with 2 double beds.
