Klavan: Male Teacher Punished For Refusing To Watch Trans Student Change In The Locker Room

   DailyWire.com

Andrew Klavan has a long-standing observation about the Left: “Everything they do turns out the opposite of what they say they intend,” and that extends to LGBTQ issues. In an effort to create “safety” for LGBTQ students, a Florida school district decided to force a male P.E. teacher to watch a female student change in a boys’ locker room, all under the guise of transgender rights. Klavan highlighted this “insane” story on Wednesday’s episode of “The Andrew Klavan Show.”

“It is hard to pick the most insane story of the year, in an insane political year like this one, but this has got to be close,” said Klavan.

Klavan cited a Federalist article by Joy Pullmann describing a female-to-male student whose coach refused to watch her change in the locker room. As punishment, he was transferred to another school for not “fulfilling his duty.” Here’s an excerpt from Pullmann’s report:

With a “gag order,” school administrators forbade teachers from talking about the change, and ordered a male P.E. teacher to supervise the potentially undressed girl in the Chasco Middle School locker room, the letter says. When he refused to “knowingly place himself in a position to observe a minor female in the nude or otherwise in a state of undress,” administrators told him “he will be transferred to another school as discipline for ‘not doing your job in the locker room.’”

“So this is a girl who thinks she’s a boy, they let her in the boys locker room, and the first time she walked in she caught the boys, literally, with their pants down,” Klavan explained. “They were embarrassed, right? They didn’t like it. So the school put a gag order, forbidding teachers from talking about the change.”

“They’re making the world safer for people, right,” he joked.

“So, an adult male refuses to look at a minor girl getting undressed, because she says she’s a boy, and he is being punished,” Klavan continued. “Insane. I mean, truly insanity. That’s how the Left is making people safe for their transgenderism, they’re trying to force an adult male to watch an underage girl undress. Everything they do turns out the opposite of what they say they intend. It makes you wonder about their intentions.”

It is hard to pick the most insane story of the year, in an insane political year like this one, but this has got to be close. This is from Joy Pullman at The Federalist:

Joy Pullmann: A Florida school district allowed a self-described female transgender-student to have regular access to a boys’ locker room, with no advance warning to the boys or their parents.”

So this is a girl who thinks she’s a boy, they let her in the boys locker room, and the first time she walked in she caught the boys, literally, with their pants down. They were embarrassed, right? They didn’t like it. So the school put a gag order, forbidding teachers from talking about the change…They’re making the world safer for people, right? Pullman goes on:

Joy Pullmann: “They ordered a male P.E. teacher to supervise the potentially undressed girl in the Chasco Middle School locker room. When the male P.E. teacher refused to knowingly place himself in a position to observe a minor female in the nude or otherwise in a state of undress, administrators told him he will be transferred to another school as discipline for not doing his job in the locker room.”

So, an adult male refuses to look at a minor girl getting undressed, because she says she’s a boy, and he is being punished.

Joy Pullman: “In an email, an administrator initially threatened to put the male coach on administrative leave, telling him that refusing to supervise a potentially naked female student would not be tolerated.”

Insane. I mean, truly insanity. That’s how the Left is making people safe for their transgenderism, they’re trying to force an adult male to watch an underage girl undress. Everything they do turns out the opposite of what they say they intend. It makes you wonder about their intentions.
