Hey Gang. This is not the only story we hit for this Freethought Thursday. The episode is titled for this story because we want to center it.
Clarksburg, WV- A transgender boy in West Virginia says that he was bullied by a school official in a bathroom. Michael Critchfield, 15, said that he just wanted to use the bathroom at Liberty High School, before getting on the bus for a band trip. He went to the boys room and made sure no one was in it – something he has been in the habit of doing to avoid conflict.
What should have been a simple trip to the bathroom suddenly turned into a humiliating ordeal last month when Critchfield’s assistant principal allegedly burst in and began to berate and bully the student over his gender identity.
