Mike DeWine Wednesday that will bar transgender students in public and private Ohio schools from using “multi-occupancy facility”—bathrooms, as well as locker rooms, changing room, or shower rooms—that match their gender identity.
There was a post a few weeks back about a school that solved this problem by converting a “multi-occupancy facility” into private toilet stalls, and converted the handwashing area into a “public space” instead of leaving it as part of the “multi-occupancy facility”.
And they pissed off pretty much everyone.
They did convert the stalls into separate rooms with full-height walls and doors, but to convert the handwashing area to a public space, they installed a window from the handwashing area to the hallway.
It was a great way (in theory) to sidestep a bullshit law. It increased everyone’s privacy, by doing away with the bullshit partitions we have in most public restrooms.
But it got misrepresented in the press with both sides accusing the other of wanting to spy on kids in the bathroom.

Great solution if every school district has a bunch of cash laying around to throw up a few new walls

Imagine investing directly in students and their safety!!? What a crazy idea.
