The Reaction
A girl who thinks she’s a boy asked to use the boys’ bathroom at her high school.
The principal allowed her to use a staff bathroom instead. Then a boy who thinks he’s a girl circulated an internet petition saying the principal was wrong. And it landed, beneath a picture of the two teenagers, on the front page of the Raleigh newspaper.
And a political brawl began.
The President, it turns out, is all for girls who think they’re boys using the boy’s bathroom and he’s got the Justice Department suing a School Board up in Virginia with more old-fashioned ideas.
The Governor’s attacked the Attorney General, who’s running against him, for not opposing the President. The Gay Rights League’s weighed in saying making the girl use the staff bathroom is too much red tape. And the Christian Action League’s weighed in saying the troubled teenager needs counseling instead of access to the men’s room.
Some mornings when you open the newspaper it appears the World’s-Turned-Upside-Down virus, like Ebola, is spreading in all directions – and there is a reaction: Another story in the morning paper reported Donald ‘I’m Not Politically Correct’ Trump leading in the Republican Presidential Primary by 17 points.
