The Sun Prairie School District in Wisconsin is under investigation by the federal Department of Education following an incident where an 18-year-old male student, who identifies as transgender, exposed himself in a female locker room.
The school district is accused of not adequately addressing the situation and failing to comply with Title IX, with the conservative law firm that filed the complaint expressing concerns about the district’s response and transparency.
The law firm believes that this case is not an isolated incident and is calling for a thorough investigation and transparency from the Biden Administration. (Trending: Olympic Gold Medalist Sentenced For Jan 6)

School district representative Patti Lux said that “while the specific complaint that is the subject of OCR’s investigation is unclear, we anticipate the complaint relates to an incident the District previously investigated and addressed.”
A complaint from the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty stated that four females “noticed an 18-year-old senior male student in the area of the lockers and benches. While the girls were shocked to see him in the locker room, they had a general idea that the student identifies as transgender.”
According to the complaint, “As the girls began to shower, the male student approached them, entered the shower area, announced ‘I’m trans, by the way,’ and then fully undressed and showered next to the girls.”
“He was initially turned towards the wall but turned and fully exposed his body to the four girls. He had not transitioned medically and had the physiological appearance of an adult male,” the complaint said.
“While SPASD administrators repeatedly referenced a ‘policy’ that they said addressed the situation, no one could identify what the policy was or produce a copy. Over a month after the incident, a principal emailed our client and apologized ‘for the incident that occurred.'”
“No one at SPASD contacted the girls to offer supportive measures or an opportunity to file a formal complaint of sexual harassment until after WILL became involved,” the firm wrote.
“Parents and students should be able to feel confident that their school is complying with federal laws like Title IX, but right now in Sun Prairie parents do not have that confidence,” Cory Brewer, an associate counsel.
Dan Lennington, Deputy Counsel for the law firm, said, “By no means is what happened in Wisconsin an isolated incident.”
Adding, “When schools fail to act in accordance with the law and either ignore or disregard their own policies, parents have a right to fight back.”
“Now it’s imperative that the Biden Administration conducts a thorough investigation and provides transparency and peace of mind to Sun Prairie parents,” he concluded.
