The office of Governor Pat McCrory has announced that the State of North Carolina will hire thousands of new public workers to serve as genital monitors at public bathrooms.
Wherever there is a public restroom, such as in airports or any other public facilities, every one of them will have a monitor to make sure that the women’s restroom is used only by women with the right genitals and men with the right genitals.
The technology industry is working to develop a technological fix for this problem, such as a camera in every bathroom stall, aimed between the waist and the knees, so that a single monitor can observe genitals in more than one restroom.
This will require substantial new funding to implement HB2.
April Fools to you too!
Wake me up. I must be in OZ, or on another planet, because this cannot be the 21st century in America.
bu then , it is North Carolina with plans to let the Koch Brothers direct what y young citizens will learn in social studies about our history and civics.

DOWN S . ARE WAITING
We are all very sad. The “dream’ was that everyone could rise, but when education is not available to everyone, then income inequality is the result and the ‘dream is over.
You write about your sadness about the disappearance of the schools, at this blog, so you obviously realize that EDUCATION is the key.
The billionaires know this ,too. They realize that it is simple ting to end our middle class, to end our democracy… take over the schools. They own the media, they control everything that we the people once did. Today, I was reading about ‘toll roads.’ That is a way to pay for fixing bridges and roads. Instead of using tax money (which the government gives to th military) private contractors , some not even American companies, will be able to charge money if you use ‘their’ road.
I don’t know this country, and I was born here.

Regarding the website, can you tell me the best way to do it?
The Kinder, Genitaler GOP …
I fell for it. Good job, Diane. But before I realized it this is what I wrote:
What insanity! For years now rest rooms have been open to homosexuals who are more of a “threat” to the peeing population than transgender folk who may or may not be homosexual. We are really going down the Rabbit Hole while valuable educational work (like the Nonfiction Minute) goes unfunded.
Now I remember that you did one last year.
I am so proud of my Italian-American heritage = genITALIA! Molto bene and pass the mozzarella.
Y’know, while I realize this is an April Fool’s joke, I just have to wonder if we’ll look back on this in 5 or 10 years and remember the joke. We’ve already accepted full-body scans and/or pat-downs to get on an airplane, why not to get into the bathroom?
Haha
LOL!
It’s getting harder to tell if something like this is a joke or not.
I like ve in South Carolina so the hike to be a GENITAL MONITOR suits me fine. Imbeciles. It is a WAR against EDUCATION and WOMEN.
The April Fool’s joke is on the citizens of the state who elected the officials who voted for this garbage. It’s obviously unconstitutional, but more important, it’s inhumane.
How can we expect the government to treat our children with respect when they obviously disdain so many of the individuals living in this country that they ignore their civil liberties.
If this was a Trump proposal, it would be more believable!
Is it a commentary that it took me awhile to realize that this was ludicrous enough to be a joke? For a second, it all seemed like something that might have been done. Sad.
Germany hires people to watch and clean some of their public restrooms. It used to cost a mark to use one. At least this was true 30 years ago. They were monitored by adults with learning disabilities. So this does not seem so far fetched to me.
I don’t know how it is currently in Germany, but five years ago, when we visited relatives in Munich, yes, the public restrooms did cost us to use them. And there was a person there to monitor and collect the money.
Employees are forbidden from Unionization and striking as the job is deemed essential to the integrity and operation of the public infrastructure.
An April Fool’s joke, right?
Do folks get fined if they moon the cameras? Yes, I know, April Fools.
Tell me, please, that this is a hoax!

People you are sleeping on the job? get on with it. You just have rest of this day to complete this assignment.
Raj, control yourself.
Well, that would be a first for him. 😉
Raj,
Have you checked your genitals lately?
LOL!
Nice April fool’s try!
“Yeah, God bless the governor! Not only he serves justice to the bathrooms of our state, from the shining dunes of the Atlantic to the roaring waterfalls and sliding rocks of the Smokies, but he also creates jobs in the process.
All genitals need to go where they belong. Long neglected toilets shouldn’t have to face just any genitals, it’s hard enough for them to deal with the designated ones 24/7.”
