oddballFlorida school threatens to punishes male PE teacher for refusing to watch undressed female in boy's locker room
Crazy. Insane.
quote:
A Florida school district allowed a self-described transgender female student regular access to the boys’ locker room, with no advance warning to the boys or their parents. The first time she walked in, she caught “boys (literally) with their pants down, causing them embarrassment and concern by the fact that they had been observed changing by an obvious girl,” says a complaint letter to Pasco County School District from Liberty Counsel, a pro-bono constitutional law firm.
With a “gag order,” school administrators forbade teachers from talking about the change, and ordered a male P.E. teacher to supervise the potentially undressed girl in the Chasco Middle School locker room, the letter says. When he refused to “knowingly place himself in a position to observe a minor female in the nude or otherwise in a state of undress, ” administrators told him “he will be transferred to another school as discipline for ‘not doing your job in the locker room.'”
In an email, an administrator initially threatened to put the male coach on administrative leave, telling him that refusing to supervise a potentially naked female student would “not be tolerated,”said Liberty Counsel attorney Richard Mast. The school’s other P.E. teacher, who is female, also objected and was ignored.
Pasco parents have yet to be informed by the school of this situation, yet the transgender student continues to have open access to private male areas, according to Liberty Counsel. Despite the initial September incident, then legal contact in October, the elected board for the district with 70,500 students has so far taken no action and administrators have refused to budge.

Hound DogWow. A male teacher disciplined for refusing to watch a naked teen girl.
When will this insanity end?
He took the best option in what is a classic example of a no-win scenario.
Imagine him supervising the naked girl. Assuming he's NOT a pedo/perv, he would not look at her too closely or directly. If boys did something innapropriate with/towards her while he wasn't looking, he would be charged (perhaps criminally) for not protecting her. Or, suppose the girl complained that he was watching her too closely. He could get charged with voyeurism (or whatever the charge would be) because he's an adult male with a teen girl.
AT BEST, he could expect a weird and unpleasant experience. Anything else would ruin him, his career, and his reputation and possibly land him on a sexual predator list.

highroundcountSorry for what the coach is going through.
Upside is it's better to be fired than labeled a sexual deviant for the rest of your days.
The world is quite off its rocker these days.

KrazeehorseIt's our (conservatives') fault. We don't go out and block the streets, turn police cars over, and cause mayhem when something doesn't seem reasonable to us. Maybe it's time to take a lesson from the libs. Cause some havoc when these idiots do something stupid like this.

Jimbo54How in the world would any parent approve of this insane policy? Heads should roll on those that authorized this without notification to the parents.

LeemurIt was a no win situation for the guy. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was being set up.

PerceptionPoor bastard. What a terrible situation for him to be put into.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." November 15, 2018, 03:32 PM
cslingerI don’t want to stare at a room full of naked teen boys either. I mean Jesus I dunno I would think it was ya know....polite.....to look away and give some privacy.

bcereussIs it only me that thinks there is more to the story?
This is written in an intentionally (IMNSHO) inflammatory manner designed to elicit an emotional response.
I admit I could be wrong, but there may be more than meets the eye here.

He should sue. They were attempting to suborn him into committing indecency with a minor.

Winner winner, I'd lawyer up with a big wig and fucking burn the School District to the ground - more specifically the morons who made the policy and decisions.

Il CattivoI wonder if the female P.E. teacher was threatened or disciplined for refusing to stand around in the boys' locker room to "observe".

I think that's what he was trying to avoid...
