New York High Schoolers Stage Walk-Out Protest Against Transgender Agenda

High school students at a New York high school staged a massive walk-out protest this week in opposition to the district’s attempts to force them to share restrooms with the opposite gender, in the name of “transgender” acceptance.
Breitbart reports that the Wappingers Central School District, which oversees John Jay High School and other campuses, is set to allow students to choose whichever restrooms they want to use, rather than assigning them on the basis of their actual gender.
The protest consisted entirely of students who do not support the policy, with one student, Shauna Neilan, saying that “a bunch of people from our school, John Jay, feel uncomfortable.”
“We want to change that and give them their own spaces to make us and them more comfortable,” she added.
In response, a small counter-protest was also held, consisting mostly of adults.
Whereas the original protest was organic and organized by the students, the counter-protest was manufactured by the far-left group Defense of Democracy, which describes its goal as being to “educate the public about the value of inclusivity and the importance of emotional and physical safety for all individuals within the American public-school and library systems.”
A petition had previously been circulated among the students, claiming that several incidents involving so-called “transgender” students had taken place in the school’s bathrooms.
