Brooks of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and Vernadette R. Broyles of Georgia Adoption &amp; Family Law Practice, the boy, who was also five years old, reportedly assaulted the girl as she was leaving a bathroom stall at Oakhurst Elementary School in November 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u201cAs [Victim] was emerging from a stall, the Assailant pushed her against a wall, pushed his hand between her legs, and repeatedly felt and poked at her genitals \u2026 while she struggled and called out for him to stop,\u201d reads the legal complaint, dated May 22, 2018. \u201cNo one came to help.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The boy had permission to enter the girls\u2019 bathroom under a policy that \u201c<em>required<\/em>\u201d schools to \u201cadmit boys who identify as female into girls\u2019 restrooms, locker rooms, and shower areas on school premises,\u201d according to the legal complaint.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Prior to the 2016-2017 school year, boys were not permitted to enter restrooms for girls. However, in a July 26, 2016 email, the Superintendent of the City Schools of Decatur, David Dude, told school staff members that students should be permitted to use the restrooms that matched their gender identities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The lawyers from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and Vernadette R. Broyles of Georgia Adoption &amp; Family Law Practice have gotten involved in the case.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>In the complaint, the lawyers argued that the violation of girls\u2019 privacy was a deliberate aspect of Oakhurst Elementary\u2019s bathroom policy, not just a side effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u201cThe Decatur Schools wish to \u2018affirm\u2019 boys who in some sense identify as girls <em>by authorizing them to mingle with girls<\/em> in areas that are reserved to single-sex use precisely <em>because <\/em>these areas involve some degree of undress, personal hygiene, and proximity that is considered to be inappropriate, intrusive, or potentially embarrassing between individuals of the opposite sex,\u201d Brooks and Broyles wrote in the complaint.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>\u201cIn other words, the violation of privacy of girls is not an unfortunate side effect of the policy \u2013 it is an essential <em>goal<\/em> of the policy,\u201d the lawyers added.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The lawyers also noted that officials of the Decatur school system did not \u201cmake any inquiry\u201d into possible \u201cphysical risks to girls\u201d or \u201cpsychological stress\u201d for girls, including those who may have been previously abused or assaulted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How many little girls have to be assaulted before schools recognize the insanity of the idea of letting boys into girls private spaces? Are we ready to allow the high school football team to invade the girls&#8217; locker room?
