Transphobic school board member posts bizarre sign denouncing school litter boxes

A school board member in Pennsylvania has erected a sign opposing litter boxes in local schools, even though no school has ever installed a litter box for students.

Earl Paules, vice president of the Palmerton Area School District school board, paid for the sign as a way to oppose the construction of unisex bathroom facilities amid an expansion of gym facilities in Palmerton High School.

The sign reads, “No unisex bathrooms, no litter boxes in our schools here in Palmerton. Taxpayers have rights!” The sign also mentioned a February 7 meeting about the construction project.

"Then all of the sudden it comes out about if we have students who are transitioning, they can use that bathroom. We don’t need to have that bathroom in the plans." – Earl Paules school board Vice President | Whom also paid for this sign
