ALLOWING TRANSGENDERS IN GIRLS' CHANGE ROOM

Palatine High School, outside of Chicago, has been battling parents for the last four years to put boys in the girls' locker room. The school board held the first of several readings of a new policy Thursday evening and listened to public comment, which was overwhelmingly against allowing transgender students unfettered access to sex-specific spaces. Parent after parent told the board that their students are uncomfortable undressing in front of the opposite sex. But these days, only the comfort and privacy of transgender children counts, as the ACLU of Illinois confirms in a statement they gave to the Chicago Tribune.
