Federal Government Investigates Transgender Policy in Georgia After Little Girl Is Sexually Assaulted
A controversial transgender bathroom policy at an elementary school in Georgia is now under federal investigation after a young child is reported to have been sexually assaulted.

Wednesday, the Education Department confirmed it is investigating whether a Georgia school district’s policy of allowing students to use the bathroom of their choice, regardless of biological sex, contributed to a “hostile environment” for a 5-year-old girl who reported being sexually assaulted in the school bathroom.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has filed the complaint on behalf of the victim’s parents.
Under the Obama administration, policy was enacted that mandated that transgender students be permitted to choose which bathroom or locker room facility to use. But President Donald Trump reversed that policy, declaring such decisions would be left up to individual schools and states, instead.
The assault now in question occurred at Oakhurst Elementary School in Decatur, Georgia, in November 2017--just one year after the school implemented the bathroom policy for transgender students. According to the girl’s mother, Pascha Thomas, the sexual assault was perpetrated by a male identifying as “gender fluid”.
Thomas shared the painful details of her daughter’s story in a produced by ADF.
"My daughter stated to me that she was in class, and she asked the teacher if she could go to the bathroom. And the teacher said yes," Thomas explained.
"So she was in the bathroom and she was pulling up her pants, when one of her classmates came into her bathroom, a little boy. She tried to leave the bathroom, [but] the little boy pushed her against the bathroom stall. Basically pinned her up against there...She asked him to stop...He refused," the mother continued.
