Well, maybe not him personally, but certainly his legally appointed proxies.
Virginia GOP bill would require schools to verify children’s genitals before using restroom
A bill filed by a Virginia lawmaker this week would require schools to be certain that children are using the restroom corresponding to their “correct anatomical sex.”
The legislation, which would prohibit transgender students from using the bathroom matching their gender, is being sponsored by Republican Del. Mark Cole.
House Bill 663 defines “anatomical sex” as “the physical condition of being male or female, which is determined by a person’s anatomy.”
“Local school boards shall develop and implement policies that require every school restroom, locker room, or shower room that is designated for use by a specific gender to solely be used by individuals whose anatomical sex matches such gender designation,” the measure states.
Under the bill, any student who violated the bathroom rules could be fined $50 by law enforcement. Schools would have the discretion of allowing students to use a “single stall restroom or shower” or to have “controlled” access to an otherwise unoccupied restroom.
The only way a schools could be “certain” would be to have the children strip down and take a look. Then I have to ask how do they document this? I mean, you just can’t simply accept the unsworn testimony of a teacher that they saw the appropriate genitalia during inspection. Also, how do we know that some 4th grader didn’t sneak off during Christmas break for a change of equipment?
Seems to me, that they will have to check several times a year and probably retain a photographic record to document the student’s “status”.
And Marc Cole strikes me as just the kind of guy who would want to be checking those photos out for compliance.
