Privacy addicts 'in your face' response to District 211 transgender settlement



The privacy addicts in Palatine-Schaumberg's high school district 211 sure have a double standard for showing respect for privacy. Opponents were outraged School Super Dan Coats sheparded through a settlement with the US Civil Rights Division which will get District 211 in compliance with federal sex discrimination guidelines for transgenders. Hundreds of them showed up and dozens spoke out against any settlement with Uncle Sam, furious that darling daughter might catch a glimpse of a penis their perfect God somehow affixed to one the parents' darling daughters. The young lady has adopted a feminine name, entered the correct sex on her passport and is accepted on female sports teams at Schaumberg High. But many clueless parents can't yet fathom this is a total non-issue to the vast majority of students. They've mostly all seen the penises and vaginas they don't have, some more up front and personal that their petrified parents would care to acknowledge. It's unlikely any believes the transgender in question, or any others that may appear, is a sicko like presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who joked about going back in time to high school to masquerade as a transgender to ogle the princesses in their locker room. 
 
But common sense prevailed Thursday. The school board voted 5-2 to get back into compliance, assure the transgender in question, and future ones, will be treated fairly, so District 211 can get their $6 mil in federal funds. Some of the mob that descended upon the meeting wanted a piece of the board that approved the settlement, feeling they were sold out. It required the cops to shield the board members' escape.

Wasn't that a special way for the opponents of a fair settlement to show their respect for privacy?
