FOXNews.com - Maine Commission Moves to Ban Gender Specific Bathrooms, Sports Teams in Schools
The little girls' room won't be just for little girls anymore, if the Maine Human Rights Commission has its way.
The commission is taking heat over a controversial proposal to ban schools from enforcing gender divisions in sports teams, school organizations, bathrooms and locker rooms. It says forcing a student into a particular room or group because of his or her biological gender amounts to discrimination.

Oh, yeah. It's a great idea to force adolescent girls and boys to do their business in the presence of their classmates of the opposite sex.

Talk about bathroom "stage fright."

Not to mention psychological damage...

wow..I'm speechless on this. The ultimate in PC on equality ?
I would really like to understand how a girl going into the girls room is discrimination.
I'm sure no one forced her and she chose that over the boys room.

Is Maine that liberal and progressive ?

I had heard there are some people whom actually get paid to come up with solutions to non-existent problems.
This story would be proof of their existence.

As America marches towards The Big Cliff, at least we can say we all had an equally enjoyable fall.

I'm just surprised this didn't happen in Berkeley or San Francisco first.
