Wake Up America This Is Bad News

Wake Up America

Lately in the news, there was a new policy that was passed. This policy allows boys to enter a girl's bathroom and girls can now use the boys' restroom. People are saying that this opens the door to more rapes, but open your eyes America because rapes will happen either way. With old bathroom policies, women used the women's restroom and men used the men's restroom. Every now and then, you would have a child molester enter the bathroom of the opposite sex and take videos and watch people.

So why does America now care about their little boys and girls going to restrooms? If a rapist wants to rape someone, they will do it no matter what. The new bathroom policy just makes it legal for rapists to rape people in bathrooms.

I personally believe that people should use the bathroom in which they are comfortable using. Judging by what is between your legs depends on what bathroom you should use. I have never feared being watched in public restrooms until this new law has passed, but I do understand that no matter what the law is, it could have always happened to me.

I believe that bathroom policies were okay the way they were before with less fear of people being creepy in bathrooms. Moms and dads should not have to fear taking their kids to the restroom in public. People should not have to fear for their invasion of privacy in restrooms.

I think bathroom policies should go back to the way they were before making it okay for people to use any bathroom that they please. At least then there wasn't much talk of girls getting videotaped in bathroom stalls and flagged down.
