#724 Part two: Unisex Toilets In School. Girls’ Privacy Sacrificed For Political Correctness? (Part two )

Part two

Niall talks to Eric Nelligan about growing outrage after parents at a new secondary school were informed that students will be using mixed-sex toilets.

Some parents, particularly mothers of teenage girls, have described the decision as “disgraceful”, arguing that schools are ignoring privacy, dignity and safety concerns in the name of modern ideology. Critics say many parents are now afraid to speak up for fear of being labelled intolerant, while schools continue pushing policies that the vast majority of families are uncomfortable with.

Supporters however insist the backlash is overblown. They argue unisex toilets already exist in shopping centres, restaurants and other public spaces, and that schools should reflect a more inclusive society that accommodates everyone, including transgender students.

The debate has reignited wider questions around political correctness, gender ideology in schools and whether common sense is being sacrificed to avoid offending a small minority.

Should boys and girls be expected to share toilet facilities in school, or are parents right to say enough is enough?
