Response to False Rumors Circulating About the Independence Law Center

by | Oct 4, 2024 | press release | 0 comments

Independence Law Center supports the goal of parents and school districts to see that everyone is treated with respect, and that the privacy rights of all students are protected.

Independence Law Center always recommends privacy, including increasing privacy within existing facilities. We never suggest putting a window into restrooms with stalls. 

It’s the position of the Independence Law Center that privacy in multi-user facilities starts at the door of the room, not the door of stalls, which have gaps and spaces all around. In such facilities, there should be no direct line of sight into multi-user bathrooms from public areas like hallways.

If facility improvements are made to convert facilities to the higher level of privacy that one expects from the opposite sex, like single-user bathrooms on airplanes, the room can open to a public area just as we are all used to on airplanes and coffee shops.
