Our family moved away from the Twin Cities this year for a new job. Our 4 children all attended Nova last year. We're so sad that this issue is threatening a lovely school. Our family feels unisex bathrooms and locker rooms would be a grave mistake.

So one gender confused child trumps the right to privacy for every girl at Nova? Parent to 1 Nova graduate and another former Nova student. We passed on enrollment for two other children this year and I it seems we made a good decision. Madness.

As a grandfather who has children attending Nova Classical Academy I oppose mixed sex use of bathrooms. As a counselor and facilitator of people with emotional hurts, hank ups and habits I can say that this is detrimental to normal development of children.

I support the option for child who may require the use of a private bathroom situation. However, as someone who has worked with victims of sexual abuse, I find the idea of mixed gender bathrooms harmful and frightening for any child who may have suffered or been exposed to sexual trauma.

Please protect kids from having to use bathrooms with kids of the opposite biological gender. We have three kids at Nova (and two more in preschool) and our girls have expressed their discomfort with this possibility.

3 grandkids attending Nova. 1 granddaughter waiting to get in next year. Mixed gender bathrooms and rocker rooms at grade school and high school is totally unsafe. Teenaged boys in the same bathroom as little girls? It is insane!

These kids are being confusd from the gate...at least they should have a chance to see modeled manhood and womanhood in the home before deciding, at an appropriate age, what they will call themselves....and how many high school boys will risk being called bisexual, to be in girlslockerroom? Already been sexual assault in this situation in CQ

Please consider how to respect all students and parents of Nova Classical Academy. May you have great wisdom and courage to stand for what is true and good for all.
