School district denies girls forced to change in front of trans student
- Students claims they were forced to change in front of trans student
- The district denies the accusations
- The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights is investigating
News NationBy Sean NooneApr 11, 2025A school board meeting in a northern suburb of Chicago drew mixed reactions from parents Thursday as they weighed in on allegations that some middle school students were forced to change clothes in the presence of a transgender student.Some parents of students at Deerfield Public School District 109 said that young girls were being robbed of their privacy, while others said transgender students deserved to feel safe.The district, however, disputes the claim and insists the incident under question did not happen.In March, the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights announced that it was investigating after a mother filed a civil rights complaint after female students at Alan B Shepard Middle School reportedly complained to school administrators about a male who was using their locker room to change for gym class.[...]Some who spoke during the meeting voiced support for the transgender student, with one speaker calling the controversy surrounding the allegations a “publicity stunt.”
Now lets hear from the Advocate...
Hundreds attended a Deerfield school board meeting to support a trans student after the Department of Education launched an investigation into her locker room use.By Ryan AdamczeskiApril 11 2025Hundreds attended a school board meeting in Illinois Thursday evening to voice their support for a transgender student after a parent complained about her using the girl's locker room.Deerfield parent Nicole Georgas claimed last month that her 13-year-old cisgender daughter was "forced" to use the girl's locker room at the same time as a trans girl, resulting in daughter refusing to change there. With the help of conservative groups the Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies and the Liberty Justice Center, Georgas filed a federal civil rights complaint.The U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation into Chicago Public Schools and Deerfield Public Schools District 109 in March for supposed Title IX violations. The district has maintained that it is complying with state federal anti-discrimination laws.
But the school systems answered those charges saying,
"We are sensitive to the privacy needs of all our middle school students and ensure that no student is required to change into a gym uniform for physical education class in front of others," Schroeder continued. "When both our middle schools were renovated in 2017, we added five private changing stations within each locker room that are available to all students."
So who do you believe?
Meanwhile...
Deerfield Public Schools District 109 held its first board meeting since becoming subject to the Education Department's investigation Thursday night. The meeting was attended by a local chapter of Moms For Liberty, a designated extremist hate group, which was drowned out by hundreds of community members who showed up to support the young trans girl.
Okay here is my prediction... the U.S. Department of Education will find the school system in violation of Title IX. Totally ignoring Supreme Court cases and the case will once again land on the Supreme Court's bench.
