Surely it violates the rights of students if, say, a teacher of the opposite gender walks into a locker room without knocking when students are undressed. That is too bad, because students, especially adolescents, need to have their privacy respected. Judge Alonso held that there is no right to visual bodily privacy. But what if they were just observed naked without being touched? For example, an arrestee who is physically strip searched by a guard of the opposite sex may have a valid claim that his or her right to privacy was violated. The courts have long a recognized a physical right to privacy. Seven percent have no opinion on the issue.”įrom a legal point of view, a crucial question is whether the students who do not want to be seen fully or partially naked by students of the anatomically opposite sex or who do not want to be inadvertently exposed to a student’s penis have a constitutional right to privacy.
The public is almost evenly split on this issue: “Currently, Americans are split on what public restroom access policies should be - they are about as likely to say transgender individuals should be required to use a bathroom that corresponds to their birth gender (48%) as to say a transgender person should be allowed to use a bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity (45%). Others are more sympathetic to the girls’ concerns. One way to look at this is that these girls are simply being transphobic and their concerns must yield to the rights of transgendered students. Other students allege that they avoid using the bathrooms altogether.
According to a decision issued last week by Federal Judge Jorge Alonso, the plaintiffs allege that, “A female student (who is not a plaintiff but who had been sexually assaulted previously) was exposed to Student A’s penis.” The plaintiffs also allege that another female student “wears soiled, sweaty gym clothes under her school clothes for the rest of the school day” in order to avoid having to change her clothes in the locker room.
SIEGEL MIDDLE SCHOOL NUDITY SKIN
This is very much about a double standard.”Ĭraig Fitzwilliams said he finds nothing wrong with the photo his daughter submitted, especially after seeing past senior photos that show far more skin or cleavage.However, as the Illinois case shows, allowing anatomically male students to use girl’s locker rooms and bathrooms can cause significant problems as well. It covers up the side where my top doesn’t, just like the boys’ Speedos. “Well, my bralette serves a different purpose than to hold my boobs up. “I think it can be argued that the swim team’s Speedos are also like an undergarment, yet they serve a different purpose,” Fitzwilliams said. It also says “undergarments” must be covered.
SIEGEL MIDDLE SCHOOL NUDITY CODE
The school’s dress code stresses the use of “good judgment” and that three areas of the body must be covered: chest, midriff and bottom. Eleanor Fitzwilliams used this picture to replace the one she originally submitted for her senior photo. The principal has spoken to Fitzwilliam’s mother but the “conversation didn’t go very far,” her daughter said. Calls and emails seeking comment from Verona Area High School’s principal and public information officer were not returned.
