11-Year-Old Girl Told to Sleep in Same Bed as Boy Who Identifies as Transgender: Letter

The Epoch Times Header

School officials assigned a girl to sleep with a boy.

Officials at a school in Colorado assigned a girl to sleep in the same bed as a boy, according to a new letter.

The 11-year-old girl was assigned “to sleep in the same bed with a fifth-grade boy who identifies as transgender without notifying the girl or her parents,” lawyers with the Alliance Defending Freedom said in the Dec. 4ย missive, which went to Jefferson County Superintendent Tracy Dorland and members of the county school board.

The students were on a cross-country overnight trip when the situation unfolded.

The girl only learned about the assignment when the boy told her after the trip started.

The girl and her parents worked to change the assignment. Chaperones on the trip finally approved the request, but only after telling the girl to lie about the reason because of the school district’s overnight rooming policy, according to lawyers representing the parents.

That policy says that “in the planning of sleeping arrangements during overnight activity and athletic trips, the needs of students who are transgender shall be assessed on a case-by-case basis with the goals of maximizing the studentโ€™s social integration, providing equal opportunity to participate in overnight activity and athletic trips, ensuring the studentโ€™s safety and comfort, and minimizing stigmatization of the student.”

In most situations, “students who are transgender should be assigned to share overnight accommodations with other students that share the student’s gender identity consistently asserted at school,” according to the policy. “Under no circumstance shall a student who is transgender be required to share a room with students whose gender identity conflicts with their own.”

The policy says that “transitions,” or changing one’s gender, could surface as early as elementary school.

The girl and two other female students were told to room together, along with a fourth student, during a trip to Philadelphia and Washington in June, according to the letter. That student disclosed to the girls inside the room that he is a boy who thinks he’s a girl.

The girl was uncomfortable with the idea of sleeping with a boy and called her mother, who was also on the trip but not a chaperone. The girl met her mother in the lobby. The mother, Serena Wailes, called a chaperone, who in turn called the school’s principal. The principal called the parents of the boy, who confirmed that their child was a male who identified as a girl.

The parents said their child was in “stealth mode,” according to the letter.
