Hundreds of kids at Perkiomen Valley High School in Pennsylvania staged a walkout earlier this week to protest the school’s new transgender bathroom policy.
From Not The Bee:
These kids — hundreds of them across the Perkiomen School District — just up and walked out of their classrooms on Friday after the school board failed to enact Proposed Policy 720, a policy that would’ve required students to use the bathroom that corresponds with their biological sex.
“Kids were upset. Girls… we wanted to protect them. They were upset. They didn’t want men in their bathroom,” John Ott, who organized the walkout, told reporters on Monday.
The Perkiomen Valley School Board’s president issued a statement: “Although I voted differently than the majority of the board, as board president, I respect the outcome of the vote and those who voted against expediting the policy. I also appreciate our student body, those who came to our previous board meeting to vote, and the 300+ students who used their First Amendment right to voice their opinion in favor of the policy during their protest on Friday.”

Students today from @PerkValleyHS exercised their first amendment rights walking out to support women’s rights & protecting girls. Very proud of this student body right now with an estimated 400 coming together for this noble cause. @Moms4Liberty @againstgrmrs @libsoftiktok pic.twitter.com/9AolhAHi5P
