What in the actual fuck.

The fuck is wrong with these people? How did this get past the planning or any stage? How many times did the workers actually cutting these windows stop and confirm with the staff "hey, this is real? you actually want us to do this?"

And you know they're just going to have to pay to fill them in after a month or so... How fucking stupid are these people?

"Hur Dur LGBT kids are doing....? so we need to spy on them so they stop doing....?" What is it they're doing that these windows stop?

Because the answer is nothing. They're existing, and these right wing nutjobs want them to stop it.

fucking lunatics.

Exactly right. The right-wing wants trans kids to stop existing... by any means necessary. Policies such as this, aimed at adolescents, are an invitation to bullying, misery, and suicide.

And they feel the same about trans or gay adults, the poors, the blacks, the immigrants, and more (it's a long list) ...

Big lawsuit waiting to happen, I hope!

I work for a school district. One of our high schools recently installed cameras in the bathrooms. The reason they can get away with it is because the stalls go from floor to ceiling. So I guess the good stalls are a small win.

Doing this in all restrooms, as a response to vandalism or the dreaded smoking, arguably makes sense. Doing it only for the kids officially hated and required to use a segregated restroom that's only for them, is not security, only cruelty.
