South Dakota lawmakers just made a decision based on decency and common sense. The state’s Senate approved a bill that requires students in government schools to use restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their “chromosomes and anatomy.”
In other words, no boys pretending to be girls in girls’ restrooms, and vice versa.
The state’s House passed its version of the bill in January. The question remains whether the Republican governor will sign the measure into law. Even if he does, how long until a court strikes it down?
An excerpt from the Christian News Network:
“We’re talking about our youths commingling in bathrooms and locker rooms, biological males and biological females,” Sen. Brock Greenfield, R-Clark. “Do you feel it appropriate for a 13-year-old girl to be exposed to the anatomy of a boy? Or for a boy to be exposed to the anatomy of a girl because of the decisions we make out here?”
An all too rare outbreak of common sense and courage.
Well done!
