Education Week (Newsletter): Transgender Students and Bathrooms: What should schools Do?
This week I got an email for this article and I was instantly intrigued as the transgender bathroom debates have been going on for weeks now. I personally do have an issue with it. It just personally makes me uncomfortable. However, when you talk about it in the schools, now you have to think about children's safety. For one, there is more going on in these school bathrooms than some people will ever know. I don't think for parents the issue is transgenders using the bathroom, its the questions that parents and teachers are going to get asked by the children. How do we prepare for that? How do we explain that? This is a very controversial topic and makes me wonder what are our priorities when it comes to schooling. Is the fact that a child who identifies with being a girl and wants to use the girls restroom that big of a deal in a school setting?

However, I did note that they are talking about public schools and not necessarily childcare. It is good to note how they are coming up with better ways to fund schools. Just to see what policymakers see that needs to be changed
