QuoteJACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A parent is suing Duval County Public Schools, Superintendent Dr. Nikolai Vitti and the school board in response to the district's announcement that it will abide by last week's Education and Justice departments' decision that transgender students be allowed to use bathrooms of the gender with which they identify, even if that's not the gender listed on their birth certificate.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by attorney Wesley White on behalf of Wryshona Isaac, who has four kids – ages 8, 9, 13 and 15 – in Duval public schools. White, is seeking an injunction against the policy, saying, "The action of the defendants denies her children a safe and supportive environment that would allow them to thrive and grow, and deprives them of the right to bodily privacy."

In the court documents, White says the district's "blind adoption" of the policy is "factually and legally baseless and a blatant violation of the privacy rights of children."

I don't think I have ever heard more blatant piles of steamy horse crap than this statement ""The action of the defendants denies her children a safe and supportive environment that would allow them to thrive and grow, and deprives them of the right to bodily privacy."
