Alabama lawmakers claim LGBTQ school bathrooms are an 'issue', ... [View all]

“The push to stop Alabama students from using a bathroom that doesn’t correspond with their sex assigned at birth came from Alabama schools themselves, according to the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Scott Stadthagen, R-Hartselle.”

“But AL.com has been unable to verify Stadthagen’s claims that “almost every single school district in this state is dealing with this issue with opposite genders wanting to use opposite bathrooms.”


“ Stadthagen has not responded to AL.com’s repeated requests for comment or to explain which schools had faced issues.”


“Stadthagen declined to name specific schools, saying he didn’t advise naming names.“


“He declined to name any schools when pushed by a member of the House education policy committee for specifics.“


“AL.com has been unable to locate the principal Stadthagen mentioned or verify his claim.“


“Stadthagen claimed that boys have raped girls multiple times in school bathrooms. During the committee hearing, he declined to name any specific cases of this happening in Alabama, or any examples of transgender students attacking other students.“

Stadthagen is obviously playing to stupid people, but shouldn’t they be offended that he thinks they’re THAT stupid?
