Brickbat: Can't You Knock?

In Illinois, Oak Park and River Forest High School removed exterior doors to student bathrooms. The intent was to stop problems like vaping, skipping class, and fighting, and the school reports fewer incidents since removing the doors. But students are pushing back: Laila Rosenthal, a junior, started a Change.org petition opposing the policy—with over 600 signatures so far—saying bathroom doors are important for students' privacy and security.

Male students conveniently identifying as female say the new policy makes it more difficult for them to sneak into the girls restroom so they can assault an actual female.
Eliminate all taxpayer money going to the public education industrial complex.
Why not just eliminate the restrooms and put the students in diapers? That's how the schools view students anyway.
The intent was to stop problems like vaping, skipping class, and fighting...
Next up: cameras.
People always say, "follow the money", but "follow the lust" often works, too.
"follow the money" ... skipping class
Surprised the Teachers Union isn't opposed.
The bathrooms have *doors*?! Guess we'll have to go back to teaching over Zoom! [assistant whispers in ear] They don't? [more whispering] The bathrooms *don't* have doors?! Guess we'll have to go back to teaching over Zoom!
Please ignore the cameras in the restrooms, they are for research purposes only.
You can't knock here because ye might knock 'em up!
Twat I don't get is, among the people that I know, the ones with large REAL (no fake, Jake!) knockers are SNOT the ones that can do the knocking up! Tit's snot that I am knocking large knockers; they are more than OK with me! They have been known to (almost) knock me out, butt never to knock me up!
removed exterior doors to student bathrooms
Seriously? This is a brickbat? This is how the bathrooms in my HS were laid out and that was over 50 yrs. ago. Probably every other stadium, dorm, mall, convention center, school, and even public library I've been in is designed this way.
I live closer to and have almost certainly been through Oak Park and River Forest more recently than anyone at Reason "Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn't have been there" Magazine. It's not your school district, get fucked.
Menard's doesn't have a door and that works, I spend too much time in that store though.
Doesn't the school have stairwells?
To shit in?
Government will provide all the security that interchangeable economic units need.
IEU's do not need privacy.
