SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -A house bill dealing with transgender students and what bathrooms they should use has prompted one student to create a petition against it.

District 4 Representative Fred Deutsch recently introduced House Bill 1008 to solve what he calls a challenging social problem.

"The bill is very simple," says Deutsch. "It requires boys to use boys facilities and girls to use girls facilities. If a student is confused as far as gender goes, then it requires schools to do something very simple; to make special accommodations for these students."

It's cool to see the push back being initiated by a student.
