Wisconsin School Apparently Told Girls They Have To Change In Front Of Male Student

A report published in March detailed how a Wisconsin school forced young girls to change their clothes in front of a male classmate during the 2024 academic year.

The two girls were apparently surprised when they found a male classmate sharing their female-only space, according to an article from the National Review. The school refused to take any action when the parents of the girls complained, and went so far as to tell the girls that they shouldn’t “worry about it.” A gym teacher further noted that any opposition to having a boy inside the girls locker room would be considered “bullying.” (RELATED: Abortion Legalized In Wisconsin After People Of Faith Failed To Vote In 2023.

When the girls tried to use a private stall, they were forced to wait for one to open-up, and subsequently received tardy notices for being late to their next class. When another girl “attempted to go sit in the general girl’s bathroom outside the locker room during her gym class to avoid the male student watching her change,” she was admonished by a teacher for trying to skip class, NR continued.

“I was scared to say the reason I wasn’t going [to gym class was] because [the teacher] kept yelling and saying he was gonna put us on the no pass list so I just said okay and walked in and now I’m scared to move because someone’s gonna catch me,” the girl told her mother at the time via text message.

Schools Forcing Girls To Expose Themselves To Boys

“When schools like Westosha force girls into an inadequate choice between exposing themselves to a male student or academic penalties, they abandon all common-sense and their core mission. The law requires protections for girls to have the same educational opportunities as their male peers,” Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) said in a complaint filed Friday. “The decision to punish these girls for protecting themselves must be promptly investigated by the Department of Education. We ask the department to consider the allegations in our complaint and quickly remedy these unlawful policies and practices.” (RELATED: ‘If The Church Votes, We WIN’: Lance Wallnau Answers Your BIG QUESTIONS On Why Everyone Needs To Care About Wisconsin)

Despite the impact on girls at the school, Westosha principal Kevin Kitslaar said in a December email that he was “aware of the situation and working to find a resolution that is in the best interest of all students involved.” Several days later, an email from the school to parents said that “the district has investigated all comments, and no school safety concerns have been reported. In short, there is not and has not been a credible threat to the students and staff at our school.”

On January 2, the male student was barred from using the girls locker room. “It was a district decision and will be our practice going forward with this student and any other students,” said the school District Administrator John Gendron, NR noted.

Wisconsin’s Supreme Court Election (April 1)

“The Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1, 2025 is a turning point, an intersection that’ll either lead America forward on our current trajectory, or back to what we almost became. Though Wisconsin is often passed over in headlines in favor of its coastal counterparts, its voters played a pivotal role in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections, all but deciding who went on to lead our nation,” Million Voices CEO John Graves wrote in a recent op-ed. “Your two candidates for the open Supreme Court seat are Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel. Each offers a unique vision for their state’s future, but keeps them well under-wraps.”

The last time the state’s Supreme Court seat flipped from conservative to liberal in April 2023, there were 1,500,000 people of Christian faith who did not show up to cast their vote, use their voice, and protect their future. We’re not going to let that happen again.

We’re giving you the tools to mobilize voters and be a change agent in your state.

Million Voices’ “Write Now” & “Call Now” initiatives help reach voters by writing letters to encourage participation in this critical election.

Research shows that 75% of voters who typically don’t vote – the ones who normally change elections when they do show up – are motivated to vote because they’ve read a nonpartisan candidate fact sheet. It sounds too simple to be true, but it is.

You may be thinking you’re not the right person to share political stuff with someone who isn’t interested. But research also shows that the best person to send a candidate fact sheet to a non-voting friend is a politically-engaged friend or family member.
