Another Legal Attack

How many of these types of law suits have we seen and eventually they will find a friendly judge that was appointed by Trump.

Summer Eastwood said she was caught off guard on the January day when her son’s school called to tell her that a transgender male student had walked into the bathroom while her son and a couple other boys were peeing in the urinals.

Eastwood said she thought the Sutherlin School District had a policy that would prevent something like that happening at Sutherlin High School, where her son was a sophomore. She went to the principal. She went to the district superintendent. She asked for a policy, but she was told there wasn’t one.

Then, on Feb. 6, the school district issued a memo. It said that based on legal advice regarding state law, the district would allow transgender students to use the bathrooms matching their gender identities, whether or not those matched their sex assigned at birth.

Shortly afterward, Eastwood started looking for legal advice. Local attorneys turned her down flat, she said, but the California-based Pacific Justice Institute was willing to take the case. In May, Eastwood and her son, identified in the lawsuit only as T.B., filed a lawsuit against the school district in Douglas County Circuit Court.
Ah yes, the Pacific Justice Institute.

You might remember the Pacific Justice Institute; Codding v. Placer Co. Clerk where they sued California for changing the marriage license form when they changed the form from “Bride and Groom” to “Party A and Party B,” supported the unsuccessful Proposition 38 in the 2000 California elections, supported Proposition 8, a 2008 California ballot initiative that defined marriage as one man and one woman, they opposed SB 1172, a 2012 California law which bans conversion therapy for children under 18, and opposes the School Success and Opportunity Act, a 2013 California law which allows transgender public school students to use restrooms and play on sports teams that fit their gender identity.

Also the Southern Poverty Law Center labels them as an anti-LGBT hate group.

So she is upset because a trans student used the bathroom.

Did anyone expose themselves? No.

Did anyone do anything improper or illegal? No.

All the trans student did is use the bathroom.
She said her concern is protecting her son and other kids from an invasion of privacy.

Eastwood said the boys who were in the bathroom were embarrassed having Tyler in the bathroom, and that they worried knowing it might happen again.
People were embarrassed when a black person used the bathroom.

People were embarrassed when a gay man used the bathroom.

Being embarrassed is not grounds for discrimination.
