Three middle school students in Wisconsin gave the adults in charge a lesson on courage, and now they’re being punished for it.
The trio of eighth graders from Kiel Middle School in Wisconsin has been charged under Title IX sexual harassment legislation, which usually deals with serious crimes such as rape, dating violence, quid pro quo sexual favors, and other sexually violent crimes.
Their violation? They refused to refer to a gender-confused classmate with “they/them” pronouns.
Rosemary Rabidoux, whose 13-year-old son Bradon is one of the students accused of misgendering his classmate, revealed that she went into shock when her son’s school called her to make her aware of the investigation.
“I received a phone call from the principal over at the elementary school, forewarning me; letting me know that I was going to be receiving an email with sexual harassment allegations against my son,” she told WLUK local news.
“I immediately went into shock,” she said. “I’m thinking, sexual harassment? That’s rape. That’s inappropriate touching. That’s incest. What has my son done?”
In other words, the Biden administration has turned Title IX into yet another tool for radical gender ideologues to force compliance with their ideology throughout the public education system — which is exactly what’s happening in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, which is representing the three students, argued the school district distorted the meaning and purpose of Title IX and violated the boys’ right to free speech. It is obvious, the organization said, that the district wants to weaponize “its Title IX process to strong-arm minor students into compliance with its preferred mode of speech.”
“School administrators can’t force minor students to comply with their preferred mode of speaking. And they certainly shouldn’t be slapping eighth-graders with Title IX investigations for what amounts to protected speech. This is a terrible precedent to set, with enormous ramifications,” WILL Deputy Counsel Luke Berg said in a statement.
In response, the Kiel Area School District said it remains committed to prohibiting “all forms of bullying and harassment” and “will continue to support ALL students regardless of … sex (including transgender status, change of sex, or gender identity).”
If stating a biological fact and referring to boys as boys and girls as girls now counts as a form of bullying, then it is clear our society has lost its grip on reality completely. For these students’ sakes, and for everyone else who cares about the truth, let’s hope sanity prevails in Wisconsin.
Given it is a School that is making the charge is not surprising. Remember the FACT that WILLFUL LIBERAL IGNORANCE has taken over our schools. It is only those who have gone to the MORON side that buy the IGNORANCE that a person is born in the Wrong body or can be a plural being.
