Questions for Schools on Transgender Policies and Practices
By Laurie Higgins   |   12.14.15
It’s not just District 211, the largest high school district in Illinois, that’s allowing gender-dysphoric students to use opposite-sex facilities. Rumors are circulating that gender-dysphoric students, enabled by their deceived parents, are asking school districts all over Illinois for permission to use opposite-sex restrooms and locker rooms. School administrations are accommodating these requests (or demands) in diverse ways and doing so without community input, without parental notification, and without establishing policy. One of those districts is District 200, a K-12 district in DuPage County that serves Wheaton, Warrenville, and portions of Carol Stream, West Chicago, and Winfield, which has multiple gender-dysphoric students, at least one of whom—an actual girl—is allowed to use a curtained changing area in the boys’ locker room. This information has been withheld from the public.

By Laurie Higgins   |   12.08.15
Following a public spat between the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the District 211 Board of Education over their tentative agreement regarding locker room use by a gender-dysphoric boy, the district has decided to move forward with the agreement. The district already allows gender-dysphoric students to use opposite-sex restrooms, and now they will allow this boy to use curtained, private changing spaces within the girls' locker rooms.

District 211 Enraged by Alleged Bad Faith of OCR
By Laurie Higgins   |   12.05.15
Perhaps I owe an apology to District 211. While District 211 is guilty of egregiously poor judgment in allowing gender-dysphoric students to use opposite-sex restrooms and in agreeing to allow a gender-dysphoric boy into the girls’ locker room to use...
An HIV/AIDS Prevention Message American Youths Need to Hear
12.04.15
Charlie Sheen’s HIV diagnosis comes as a great surprise to Hollywood and the rest of the nation. Sheen says that the news of his infection was “a mule-kick to my soul.” Indeed.

America’s Universities Begin to Implode
11.30.15
For over half a century, American universities, with few exceptions, have ceased teaching and begun indoctrinating. In the last few weeks, this downhill spiral has accelerated. The university is now a caricature of an educational institution. It is difficult to come up with an idea or policy that is more absurd than the ideas and policies that now dominate American campuses.
Be Thankful for Some Princeton Students
By Laurie Higgins   |   11.26.15
In light of the self-indulgent, self-referential, and oppressive efforts of both students and faculty to impose their ideological views and circumscribe speech on college campuses, it is refreshing and inspiring to see that not all students can be intimidated. A...
