Illinois mother files civil rights complaint, says daughter nearly forced to change in front of trans student

According to Georgas, her daughter was "frightened" and "extremely upset" when on Feb. 5 she was using the girls bathroom and noticed that a transgender student was also using the facilities at the same time.

"She was told by the administration that a student can use the bathroom as well as a female locker room because they now identify as female," Georgas said of the explanation administrators allegedly provided to her daughter. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the school district for comment. 

"That day, I filed a civil rights complaint, on behalf of my daughter, with the Department of Justice. It has now been referred to the Department of Education. A federal complaint has been filed with the district to protect the students."

Georgas said the situation worsened when, days later, her daughter and other classmates refused to change into her uniform during physical education because the transgender student was present. 

She claimed that the following day, school administrators pulled the girls aside and later made them change into uniform. 

"That day, [Assistant Superintendent for Student Services] Joanna Ford, [Assistant Principal] Cathy Van Treese, and multiple teachers all came into the girls locker room, making them change into uniform. This went on all week," she said, adding that her daughter still "refused to take part." 

As part of Georgas' speech, she "demanded" the district move forward with designating facilities for biological males and biological females. 

Georgas appeared on "America Reports" last week when she expressed her biggest concern regarding the situation. 

"This sets such a dangerous precedent for girls everywhere by allowing men into safe places. My biggest concern is that an adult, biological male - that hasn't transitioned - can freely access women's bathrooms [and] locker rooms, putting their safety and privacy at risk. This is common sense." 

Fox News Digital contacted the Justice Department and the Education Department for comment on the complaint.
