The recent decision by the School Board for DC Everest School in Wisconsin to adopt a new Title IX resolution allows boys to enter girls’ bathrooms and participate in girls’ sports if they identify as female. This policy, approved with a 5-1 vote, is a controversial move that raises serious concerns about the safety and privacy of young girls.

Critics of the move argue the core issue with the policy is that boys, regardless of their “gender identity”, should not have unrestricted access to spaces designated for girls. Allowing this can lead to significant risks and discomfort for female students. Furthermore, integrating boys into girls’ sports can create unfair competition and potentially compromise the integrity of women’s athletic achievements.

Critics added that this decision highlights a troubling trend of prioritizing ideological commitments over the well-being of students. It’s critical for school policies to balance inclusivity with practical considerations for safety and fairness. 

In essence, this policy could have serious ramifications for the safety and privacy of girls in schools, while also appearing to be an impractical and misguided attempt at inclusivity.
