IN the NEWS - $2,400,000 down the drain (Literally)

I have seen the foolish taking root: Job 5:3


"Taxpayer dollars in Pennsylvania are being used to demolish an existing boys and girls locker and replace them with a gender neutral changing facility.

Eastern Lancaster County (ELANCO) School District is spending 2.4 million dollars after a community backlash when a student identifying as transgender was using a locker room that did not match their biological sex.
“The $2.4 million renovation plan for Garden Spot High School includes the design of four ‘zones’ that will hold a total of 48 private changing rooms and 76 private showers. Because each of the showers will be private, they can also double as changing rooms, making a total of 124 changing rooms under the new plan.”
School board members implied that addressing LGBTQ+ issues took precedence over teacher’s salaries and new educational material and implementing education-based policies. The board unanimously passed the policy Monday.
As a result of this decision, the district is spending 2.5 times more money on the pro-LGBTQ+ renovation than anticipated."
