“That was huge, the student walkout that day and the community members coming through and talking at the board meeting, voicing their opinion,” he continued. “I believe that all this came together and worked on the school board members, and I was happy to see that they decided to change their policy.”

The walkout was led by student John Ott.

“Kids were upset. Girls… we wanted to protect them,” Ott said during an interview with Fox. “They were upset. They didn’t want men in their bathroom.”
