Gender neutral/all user washrooms in #onted schools.
They've become the latest talking point in the attack on inclusive policies in schools.
If you'll be watching the #OCDSB meeting on Tuesday, you'll hear some things about them.

So let's talk about this, shall we?

First, for those who are unfamiliar with what "gender neutral" (I prefer "all user") washrooms look like in schools, for most schools they are repurposed staff/adult washrooms.
Single-user, separate from the existing multi-user washrooms, locking doors, sink in the room.

Who has permission to use an all user washroom?
> Anyone.
Who must use an all user washroom, by policy?
> No one.
All user washrooms are available for those who want them, but are not intended for one specific group of people.

Let's break down how sharing Google Meet codes publicly puts kids at risk.
Some common responses I've seen from people seeking to minimize the impact of what Chanel Pfahl did yesterday - and why they're wrong - below.

"It was just the nickname, not the joining information."
The nickname IS the joining information. You don't need a link to join a Meet if it's been created with a nickname. You can enter the nickname and go directly to the meeting.
Ergo, Chanel shared joining information.

"They're locked to OCDSB accounts anyway, so no harm done."
Even if a meeting is locked down, non-OCDSB accounts can still request entry to the Meet. That could be abused by trolls to overwhelm hosts of meetings with requests to join, which play a sound and create a pop-up.

A candidate for #onted trustee who has taken a very public "anti-woke" stance publicly shared a board email which included info on how to join virtual meetings for marginalized students.
This is more than playing politics or a lapse in judgment. (1/5)

Making this information publicly available puts students and staff directly in harm's way.
There is no apology that will excuse this egregious disregard for student wellbeing.
The candidate should immediately withdraw from the race for the damage done with this. (2/5)

No one running for a position of stewardship and leadership in #onted should build their platform on the basis of stripping students of their safety.
The email very clearly stated that it was not to be shared, but this trustee candidate brushed that aside. (3/5)

That's right. Remember teachers: you can't give your students so much as a Tylenol without parental consent, but it is your duty to practice psychotherapy without a license and set a child on the path to medical transition without even telling the parents you've done so!
I'm told the account is now locked down. This is the appalling betrayal of parental trust that this Ottawa teacher is encouraging.
