Michigan parents sue school district over letting boys into girls' bathrooms

Michigan parents have filed a lawsuit against Vicksburg Public Schools over its all-gender bathroom policy, which allows boys to use the girls' restroom and strip nude in the girls' locker rooms.

According to the federal lawsuit filed on Friday, parents allege that the policy discriminates against girls and violates their right to privacy, reports News Channel 3. The suit accuses the school district of seven Title IX and civil rights violations.

Matthew DePerno, an attorney representing the parents in the suit, says that parents are irate with the lack of transparency from school officials over the policy.
 

"The principal told them there is nothing they can do about it," DePerno said. "The issue was settled and told the students to make the best of the situation."
