Values Alliance Battles BSU Transgender Bathroom

Item: Conservative group criticizes BSU for unisex restroom for 'transgender' people/John Miller, Idaho Statesman

More Info: A conservative group has criticized an Idaho university administrator for saying a planned new unisex restroom in her school’s student center will accommodate transgender people. Boise State University, with more than 12,000 students in the state capital, is adding 66,000 square feet in a $35 million student union building revamp beginning this month. It will add one unisex restroom that anyone can use; the restroom will afford users more privacy than traditional restrooms labeled “Men” and “Women."

Question: Much ado about nothing? Or an important battle in culture war?
