A lot of children from western MKE suburbs and the North Shore go to summer camp at Camp Minikani, which is run by the YMCA.
YMCA. Vanilla, non-controversial, safe place, good programs for the kids, right?
Not so fast.
The American Parents Coalition released a “Lookout” notification to parents over the YMCA’s transgender-inclusive camp and programming policies that include allowing males into female cabins and restrooms.
Executive director of parents group the American Parents Coalition Alleigh Marré told The Center Square that “by not complying with Title IX, the YMCA’s policies treat biological sex as irrelevant in the spaces where it matters most for privacy and safety like bathrooms, locker rooms, sports teams, and sleeping accommodations.”...
Before you send your girls to Minikani, ASK QUESTIONS and INSIST ON ANSWERS.
...The Lookout highlighted the transgender-inclusive policies of many individual YMCA camps.
For instance, in Michigan, Sherman Lake YMCA camp’s policy for cabin placement states that “campers are assigned to cabins based on their identified gender.”
Sherman Lake is not alone, with camps in Colorado, Wisconsin and California in having similar policies....
The Wisconsin camp which displays the transgender-friendly wording is located in St Croix:
YMCA Camp St. Croix (WI) policy: welcomes “campers of all backgrounds, walks of life, and genders,” adding that, “campers are assigned to their cabin based on age and gender-identity.”...
No surprise that the St Croix camp is run by the Twin Cities Y.
Pay attention, parents!
