FLORENCE — Three Colorado high school girls are alleging harassment because a transgender student is using the girl’s bathroom.
The Pueblo Chieftain reports that the California-based Pacific Justice Institute, a firm specializing in parental rights, is representing the girls from two Florence families. Attorney Matthew McReynolds says allowing a “biologically teenage boy” in a girl’s bathroom “is inherently harassing.”
McReynolds sent a letter Oct. 10 to Re-2 School Superintendent Rhonda Vendetti and Florence High School Principal Brian Schipper.
Vendetti says school officials are working with the group to reach a resolution that ensures all students get a fair and equitable education.
The school asked Florence police to investigate the harassment allegations, but authorities said they’ve closed the case because the girls would not cooperate.
