Illinois high schoolers survey if 'queers' should use the bathroom with 'normal people'
A survey asking students if they think "queers" should be allowed to use the school restroom with "normal people" circulated at an Illinois high school this week, the latest of a recent slew of reported attacks on LGBTQ students across the country.
The survey was distributed at Anna-Jonesboro Community High School in Anna, Illinois, on Wednesday by an unidentified number of students who called themselves the "Anti-Queer Association," according Rob Wright, the school's superintendent.
It asks students to vote either "
YES) I WANT QUEERS TO GO IN THE BATHROOM" or " NO) I DON'T WANT QUEER KIDS TO GO TO THE BATHROOM WITH US NORMAL PEOPLE."
Wright told NBC News that only a few copies of the poll were handed out before the school discovered them Wednesday morning, but an image of the survey was posted on Facebook. He added that the number of students involved in the debacle was "very limited" and that disciplinary measures were taken against them.
