I recently stumbled on a short clip of a 5th grade female student speaking to her school in the Palo Alto Unified School District in California.
It’s less than a minute long and very worth the watch.
If she’s like most 5th graders, she’s probably 10 (or maybe 11), and she provides her name. She complains about the school’s so-called “gender neutral” restroom policy and explains to her school leaders why it’s important to have single-sex restrooms.
I’m glad she said it. I hope the clip goes viral, the school is shamed into taking action, and she one day becomes President of the United States. In the meantime, it should not be falling to our nation’s 10-year-olds to explain to the adults in the room why it’s important for schools to provide separate restrooms for girls and boys.
Just before publishing this, I came across another clip, this one of a 3rd grade girl at the same school who can’t even reach the podium. Please listen to what she says.
I did a little digging into the rules and laws that govern sex-based provisions in California schools to understand why this is happening. The answers might surprise you.
