Palatine transgender war grinds on

Parents in Palatine High School District looked south to North Carolina, saw the state toss $3.6 billion of business out the window with an bizarre law barring transgender students from using the bathroom of their assumed sex, and decided 'That crazyness is for us.' Just as North Carolina moved to repeal its law that protected no victims against no crimes and let the cash registers start ringing again, fifty fearful Palatine district families have signed onto a lawsuit filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom, an Evangelical advocacy group, to bar any new transgenders from using the bathroom that doesn't correspond to their hidden genitals. And three more, 2 trans boys and a trans girl, are stepping up to the potty of their pleasure there. This comes as the district's agreement with the lone transgender student, allowed under a 2015 agreement with Uncle Sam to use the girls bathroom, expires upon her graduation. The argument, a reprise actually over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, has cost the district thousands of dollars and hours since erupting in 2013 that could have been better used for real education. Instead, this teachable moment of equality and inclusiveness is becoming a 'teachable decade'. The local Evangelical New Hope Community Church as been dogging the school board on behalf of the suing families with this bit of simplistic religious wisdom: "God created two distinct and complete sexes in the biology of the human race. A biological male is never a female and vice versa." In their worldview God don't make no mistakes. It's beyond their powers of comprehension that sometimes He makes a whopper.
