Representative Jesse Kremer revealed last night at a meeting of the Concerned Citizens of Washington County that he will be introducing legislation for uniform treatment of transgender kids in school. Washington County Insider reports:
Jesse Kremer proposes transgender legislation
State assembly Representative Jesse Kremer (R-Kewaskum) unveiled a bill during Thursday night’s Common Sense Citizens meeting at the West Bend Moose Lodge.“The measure will provide policy affecting public schools in Wisconsin relating to students who may identify as a different gender and accommodations for them,” he said.

Kremer said the bill will set policy statewide for school districts so if there is some sort of litigation in the future the Department of Justice will have to defend it and it won’t be up to the school districts to take it on their own.
“The bill will say, if you’re born a boy you will use the boy’s bathroom and locker room. If you’re born a girl you will use the girl’s facilities and if you identify as something else the school district will provide reasonable accommodations, which is similar to what Kewaskum did,” he said. “This bill will protect school districts and it will provide protection for all students for their dignity and privacy.”
I don’t know if this will fix the Kewaskum school problem.
Based on reports I get from High School students, the issue is: the kid wants to go into the facilities of the opposite gender….making many students very uncomfortable and administration seemed unwilling to do much about it, for a very long time.
If the student is not satisfied with the “reasonable” accomadation, and still wants to go into locker room of opposite gender….then what?
We need the Department of Justice to keep them out, rather than simple school discipline?
Liberalism has put public schools into a sad state of affairs.
I give Kremer kudos for trying to fix this liberal mess.
