Schools Should Teach Reading, Not Gender Theories, And Restrooms Should Protect Kids
amuse – Open-concept restrooms, designs featuring shared entrances, communal sink areas, individual stalls without full gender separation, and often gender‑neutral access, have been increasingly proposed and implemented in elementary and middle schools across the U.S.
Proponents argue these layouts promote inclusivity, efficiency, and safety by reducing bullying or isolation for transgender or nonbinary students. However, a robust critique posits that such designs, particularly when pushed in K‑8 environments where children are developmentally vulnerable, ages 5 to 14, ultimately harm students by eroding privacy, fostering gender confusion, and serving as a subtle tool for ideological grooming toward transgender and broader LGBTQ identities.
