Over 150 Students Walk Out Of School To Protest Transgender Teen Using Girls’ Locker Room
HILLSBORO, Mo. (CBS St. Louis) – Over 150 Missouri high school students voiced their displeasure about a transgender teen using the girls’ locker room by walking out of class.
Students at Hillsboro High School staged a two-hour walkout Monday over 17-year-old Lila Perry, a student who has identified as a female since she was 13, using the girls’ locker room during gym class.
The school offered Perry a gender-neutral bathroom, which she turned down. St. Louis attorney Timm Schowalter says, “All students have a right, under Title 9, to access the bathroom of their choice.”

I'm with them 100% on this one. It's the first time I remember being in favor of students defying a school. They should have stayed out longer than 2 hours.
