GOV. DeSantis RESOLVES TRANSGENDER ISSUE

 

TALLAHASSEE, FL – In response to the December 30 ruling by a Federal Appeals Court that reversed the St. John’s County School Board policy requiring that students use bathrooms that comply with their biological gender, Governor Ron DeSantis today issued an administrative order to resolve the issue.  “Today,” Governor DeSantis said, “ I am directing that all public schools have four bathroom facilities for student use.  Separate but equal!  There will be a ‘Boy’s' bathroom for Johnny, a ‘Girl’s’ bathroom for Kathy, a ‘Boy/Girl' bathroom for Ted-to-Joyce, and a 'Girl/Boy' bathroom for Joyce-to-Ted."  In order to provide funding for the construction of the additional two bathrooms in the thousands of public schools in Florida, Gov. DeSantis said that he would divert federal Covid relief money to fund the construction.  

 

The governor’s action was generally met with broad support.  “No longer will my son, Cassandra, feel embarrassed when choosing which bathroom to use when he needs to take a dump,” said Juanita Cohen, a Dade County mother.  Although supported by the Florida Plumbers and Steamfitters Union, AFL/CIO, the announcement brought harsh criticism from Mara-Largo and some other politicians.  “ Ron DeSacrimonious has gone woke and is not adhering to the Judo-Christian ideals that made this country great and safe for our kind of people,” said former president Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene in a joint statement. Ye could not be reached for comment.

 

Shortly following his announcement, Gov. DeSantis’s 2024 campaign committee noted that it had received “substantial” contributions from the toilet and sink manufacturers, Kohler and Eljer, as well as from That Time, an Amazon subsidiary that manufactures tampon dispensing devices installed in public restrooms.
