Dozens of students walked out of their New Hampshire school after the district banned urinals in a compromise to a proposal that would have blocked children from using facilities based on their gender identity. The school board decided a few days before the Friday walkout to prohibit students at Milford Middle School and Milford High School from using urinals or shared spaces in locker rooms. The ban in a town of about 15,000 people roughly 35 miles (56 kilometers) from Concord, New Hampshire's capital, was the culmination of a long debate about district rules about bathroom use and gender identity.

Opening a can of worms: “: to create a complicated situation in which doing something to correct a (nonexistent) problem leads to many more problems — Merriam-Webster.
This always happens when liberals are in control. Boys have thingies that require a target while standing. Don’t mess with the natural order.

Can it get much worse? We are both silly and stupid. And we expect to be competitive?

"DOZENS of STUDENTS"... It doesn't get much better than that. Here's to Patrick Whittle of the Not-Ready-for-Grammar-School, sickening Associated Press.

Sarah Sanders was correct in her analysis. Crazy vs normal. If you cannot have urinals to reinforce someone's mental illness and then you must put Kotex dispensers in bathrooms to again reinforce someone's mental illness - yes it boils down to crazy being accepted as "normal"? Our schools are failing our children as we sink lower and lower on the educational scale. They can't read, comprehend, understand math and believe that America needs to be brought to her knees. Instead of educating our students schools spend time debating how your children should pee in school. As a woman there have been many times in my life that I have envied men being able to quickly use a urinal. Insanity is running rampant through the hallways of our schools.

Wait until the perverts demand the removal of doors on the bathroom stalls. As the Big Bad Wolf says...'The better to see you my dear.'

Once you start lying, you can't stop. And the lies have to get bigger to cover the obvious disparities between truth and mendacity.
So you start with the lie(s) that boys can be girls and girls can be boys and you end up redesigning your world to accommodate the stupidity, because that's what lying is.
This is NOT "anti transgender...". If the collection of supposedly smart people on the school board simply said "use the bathroom you were born to", it would be anti stupidity. Honesty is so much simpler.

These are High School kids and Middle School kids! Why is anyone doing anything other than grabbing them by the collar and putting them back in school and taking away their TikTok phones?

Since when does a school board have jurisdiction over how students use a restroom? Their job is to see children are educated, not direct them in how to instinctively use the bathroom. Good God, adults have gone crazy. Parents, take your kids out of these lunatic asylums before the woke agenda rots their young, impressionable minds.

Exactly, #11! These are KIDS! First of all, Who allowed them to walk out the Door without explaining the Consequences? You leave school, you are Truant! Yes, that's an old word, but it could become a New word with Police to explain what it means. You are Truant, You are picked up and sent to Juvie until you understand YOU do not make these decisions for the School. Adults do that. You don't like it, tell your parents to put you in a different School. Otherwise, you WILL obey the RULES OF this school! Oh yeah, make the Parents pay a nice amount of their Hard Earned Money to get their Kids out of Juvie!

RE#3........ Boys don't need "targets". Although having a target can make the experience a little less of a task and likely keeps spent ammunition off of the floor. It also facilitates improving aim for snow art.
I think that I may have accidentally stumbled on an argument that liberals will accept.

To make the tiny percentage of confused children/teen following the latest LGBTQ "I think I'm Transgender " fad; everyone must accommodate the select precious few who think they are special enough to warrant genderless bathrooms and locker rooms. Rather than give these people their own facilities, everyone must now be treated as non unary or Transgender. The inmates are running the asylum!

"Female to male" so-called "gender" reassignment surgery cannot produce anyone born female who can urinate against a wall, or can write his name in the snow or urinate a deep, wide hole like Yeats's "great bladdered Emer." Even Cher's daughter ("son") Chazz couldn't dream of doing that.

Ignoring other issues for a moment..... a toilet uses 10 pints of water per flush on average and a urinal uses only 1 pint. So, we are going to use 10X more water for every flush for 1/2 the student body? What is the cost in water usage? What is the cost to the environment? This is crazy talk for many reasons.

Do they have urinals in their homes? No. So this is a show-off protest.

Easy fix. Identify as female, use the facilities, leave the seat down and have bad aim.

Uriinals are very convenient. Sorry that females aren't equipped that way, but not my fault. Don't be pukes and remove a convenience because females can't use it.
Life isn't fair.....EVER.
People are different, and nothing is going to change that. Driving everything down to the lowest common denominator is just stupid and destructive.....Oh, wait....that describes leftists perfectly. Stupid and destructive.

#'s 11, 13, & 23: please go back and re-read the article. I think the intent of the kids' protest was to "take a stand" for NORMAL

I'm not sure what the school board is trying to accomplish. But having separate bathrooms for boys and girls seems like a pretty basic accommodation in an advanced society.
