00:00On the right is a photo of the sign on the boys' room at Harper's School, and on the left
00:04is the girls' room.
00:05What can those photos possibly have to do with this case?
00:07According to the Harper School Student Handbook, all students are required to wear an official Harper School uniform.
00:13Trousers, a button-down shirt, and a blazer.
00:15Or a skirt, a blouse, and a blazer.
00:17Sam, would you mind standing up for me, please?
00:19There is nothing in the handbook that requires a boy to wear the pants or a girl to wear the
00:24skirt.
00:24It's assumed that girls wear skirts, but why is that relevant? We're not arguing uniforms.
00:29The school's bathroom doors have ideograms on them, one depicting a figure with pants, and the other, skirt.
00:35These are the only bathroom guidelines.
00:37Now, Sam wears pants, so he's complied with the school rules by using the bathroom with the ideogram and pants.
00:43It's ridiculous.
00:44Maybe so, but it's logic and sound.
00:46If Sam's in compliance with the school's internal regulations, he can continue to use the boys' room.
00:51We will amend the handbook to insist that girls wear skirts and boys wear pants.
00:55Your Honor?
00:55I'm ahead of you, Ms. Bingham.
00:56You're free to change the school's guidelines, but those changes will not apply to Sam as he matriculated under the
01:01current pop.
01:01Now we're done.
