Schoolchildren are so terrified about a new transgender restroom policy in one U.S. county, they’re not going to the bathroom “all day long,” according to a pastor and grandfather blasting local officials.
Pastor Anthony Cooper of Life Church in Shelby, Ohio, is among 100 clergy speaking against the policy in the Shelby City School District that allows students to use whichever bathroom corresponding to their gender identity.
“[I’m] … really devastated about what is taking place,” Cooper said in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“We’re finding out that many of them won’t even go to the bathroom all day long because they are afraid to go to the restrooms.”
Once parents were made aware of the policy, local clergy signed a letter to the district indicating, “We will not sacrifice the safety and privacy of children on the altar of political correctness.”
“It is our understanding … concerned parents have compiled statements from at least ten different female students who feel unsafe using school restrooms,” the letter continued.
