Father Confronts School Board Over Bathroom Policies

Every single one of you is cowards.

You're so scared of losing federal funding, it's ridiculous.

When this man's daughter faced issues at school

over bathroom policies,

he showed up to the school board meeting and didn't hold back against the board members.

Welcome, Mr. Matthews. - Hey. Alright.

I see cowards.

First off, quit smiling. Why are you smiling?

All I see... the one girl that went to the bathroom

and went to the office to try to have something done about it,

they said they couldn't do it because of Title IX, correct?

Well, there is something you can do. You could create policy

that goes out to the girls that says they can use the staff bathroom.

One person on this board with a conversation told me

that they can't turn away the girls from the staff bathroom.

So why aren't you doing anything?

My daughter right here. Sweetheart, tell these people.

Do you want a little boy to watch you pee? - No.

- No. Why? - Because it's inappropriate.

It's inappropriate. My eight-year-old daughter knows it's inappropriate,

and yet y'all sit there silent.

One of you told me that your personal views

don't align with the views you show to the public.

Cowards.

That is not how you do it.

That should show every parent in this county that you are not fit to sit on this board.

Every one of you.

Tell me you didn't say that this is not your job,

that it should be left up to the ethics committee.

You, I've heard you say it's not my job when it came to the books being in these schools.

It is your job to look over who's in charge of catching those books.

You, all you do is smile. But this has got to stop.

Because I'm gonna tell you, y'all come up here and talk about vaping and the dangers of vaping.

If a little boy follows my daughter in that bathroom and touches her,

you will have a new river of dangers.

This is ridiculous.

You're opening up opportunity for problems to happen.

You either create a new bathroom for those who are confused or you send 'em to the staff bathroom.

Very simple problem.

Don't change policy for tens of thousands of people to accommodate.

There is no problem what people do on their personal level.

That is not my business, nor your business, nor anybody's business.

That is their choice.

But I tell you what, I want to prove that you're all hypocrites.

'Cause each of you ladies, I want to invite your husbands.

And let's go to the bathroom and I want them to watch me watch you use the bathroom

and let's see if they get mad.

Let's prove to the public the hypocrites that sit on this board.

'Cause I bet you you'll get mad when I watch your wife,

your husband'll get mad when I watch you,

your husband would feel the same as I would about my wife.

Now stand up and do something. You're so scared of losing federal funding,

it's ridiculous.

Every single one of you is cowards.

And we keep coming up here year after year with the same clique.

There's one woman on this board that stands up for the people and the kids.

That's a role model. Y'all should listen and pay attention.

That's why she gets the votes.

We won't put a single Laura Lindsay sign out and she'll get the votes.

Kenny Wartman is the exact example of a man whose feelings are hurt

because the right questions were asked.

There, I called him out.

Thank you.
