A school district meeting in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, saw heated debate among parents and community members as they discussed local implementation of new Title IX rules.

“I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that you’re even considering having mixed bathrooms and locker rooms. I don’t care how they identify or what kind of delusion people are living in, what kind of mental illness they have – boys are boys and girls are girls. It’s very simple and basic. It’s always been that way and that’s why we have separate bathrooms,” Josh Vienola, a member of the local Facebook group Moms for Liberty, said during the Aug. 14 meeting.

“I don’t understand what’s wrong with you that we’re even considering this. You need to say ‘no, absolutely not’ and come back to reality,” Vienola continued.

His response to the School Board The members came after a speech by Kora Novy, the self-proclaimed director of Oshkosh Pride, who had previously fanned the flames of debate by calling the discussion an “obstacle.”

“What is this fight really about?” Novy asked. “You can’t force your beliefs on someone, and that’s what religious freedom is: You have the right to believe that it is protected, but the other person who identifies with something also has a right to be protected.”

The LGBT activist said they were “paying attention” and would “join in this discussion if it continues,” echoing the sentiments of another local, TJ Hobbs, who was concerned about local compliance with Title IX law.

At a school district meeting in the Oshkosh, Wisconsin area, there was heated debate among parents and community members as they discussed the local implementation of Title IX in their schools.

Laura Ackermann, president of Moms for Liberty in Winnebago County, an organization that one of the school board members called “extremist” during the heated exchange, also weighed in on the debate, highlighting her concerns about the potential discomfort students might feel about the changes that Title IX would incite.

“The old Title IX consisted of two paragraphs and was intended to protect girls and women in Sports and education. The new policy, the new regulations are 1,500 pages long,” Ackermann said. “Moms for Liberty wants all children to be protected… The risk of the new policy is that it may put transgender students above girls in some cases. That’s the argument behind changing Title IX, which now no longer protects girls but includes the transgender population. Not that they shouldn’t be protected, but there are other policies that protect them.”

“If a transgender person wants to use the restroom across the street, you have to let them, according to this law. If a girl complains because she doesn’t feel comfortable with a naked man in her changing room, she has no way to take action under this new rule,” Ackermann continued.

Referring to a complaint she sent to the board, Ackermann explained that girls who feel “insulted” by a transgender student using the girls’ restroom are asked to use a separate restroom, but the transgender student “cannot” be asked the same question.

Ackermann said that schools in the Oshkosh region are currently Wisconsin State Law 118.13and said she viewed the current guidelines as “both state and federally compliant.”“
