Many people took the podium at the public comments portion of tonight’s Westosha Central School Board meeting to express their frustration. Frustration that the school is allowing a 16-year-old boy to use the girls’ locker room and bathroom alongside 14-year-old girls. In a usually empty room, a packed group of concerned citizens spoke, one after the other. Jay Nutting was missing from tonight’s meeting.

Out of the speakers, only one woman, an LGBT activist spoke in favor of allowing boys in the girls’ spaces. “I support all students, including LGBT. I had one 16 year old in absolute tears say, ‘I didn’t know that I would be an adult as a lesbian.’ Because I thought I would die by the time I was 16,” said the activist Tuesday night.

However, all of the other speakers spoke against the unusual policy.

“The Supreme Court has ruled that you have not been protecting girls in your school, whether you think that you have been or not. There is now time to erase all the changes in policy that directly led to this perverse invasion and assault on the safety of the girls in our community,” said a local mother. “We will hold you accountable, and we won’t settle for less. Please do the right thing and keep the balls out of our girls’ stalls,” she added.

“Any reasonable person who has any level of morality understands that there are two sexes, male and female. Science also validates this very clearly. In a paper from the American College of Pediatricians in March of 2021, it states, in humans, primary sex determination occurs at fertilization and is directed by a complement of sex-determining genes on the X and Y chromosomes,” said another speaker. “This genetic signature is present in every nucleated somatic cell and is not altered by drug or surgical intervention. To pretend anything different is an assault on our intelligence, our morals, and our religious beliefs. By allowing a biological male who identifies as a trans woman to enter in bathrooms and locker rooms where it used to be safe for our girls is unacceptable,” he added.

“I’m an alumni of Central. Two of my four children graduated from Central. I knew there was a problem in 2014 when one of your staff harassed my daughter on social media, but it doesn’t even come close to what I have witnessed with allowing biological men into females’ private spaces. Parents shouldn’t feel the pain of sending their daughters to school. However, this has turned into a nightmare. If my daughter was still here, I would not allow her back into school,” said a mother.

The school district board, principal and administrator have tried to tell the public that this isn’t happening at the school. One email, shared with KCE, proved that they are lying.

Tonight’s meeting was the culmination of KCE’s story that reached all ends of the world last month entitled: Parents Of Female Students Outraged After Boy Parades Around Girls’ Locker Room Naked, Exposing Himself At Westosha Central High School.

Several parents of female students contacted KCE with a very serious concern. According to allegations shared with KCE by multiple sources:

A boy has been using the girls’ locker room to change at Westosha Central High School. He stares at the young girls while they change and that makes them feel very uncomfortable. Some of the girls began to use the stalls to change. When they would exit, the boy would be exposing his penis and rubbing himself with lotion. He claimed to the girls that the lotion was to “prevent chafing.”

Miranda Hopkins – Gym Teacher, Westosha Central High School

The boy changes in the full nude, often exposing his penis and testicles. Many girls, some or most which are freshmen, approached the gym teacher, Miranda Hopkins. Hopkins told the girls that the boy “identifies” as a girl, so they have to let him have access. (Miranda is of no relation to a local school board member and teacher, Brian Hopkins, nor his father, Salem Lakes Trustee Bill Hopkins.)

There is a family locker room in the school that the girls starting using, but Hopkins told the girls they can’t use it and to stop “stirring up drama.” The girls then stopped changing in the locker room and went to gym class without the proper gym clothes on. The school punished them by marking down their grades and handing out “unexcused absences.”

Multiple parents have called the school multiple times and the school leadership finally called seemingly tried to address the issue. The girls were told that the boy is no longer allowed in the female locker room, but they say he isn’t listening to that directive.

One girl was allegedly assaulted by this boy as she told him to “put [his] dick away,” and he pushed the girl. He was suspended for this violence and/or smashing a chromebook in a fit of rage against another student. Some students have told school staff that the boy has threatened to “shoot up the school”, but they say the teachers laughed it off and told the students not to be “dramatic.”

This boy, when he attended Salem was also in constant trouble for violent behavior. One father told KCE “I find it unacceptable that a 14-year-old girl is required to change in front of a 16-year-old boy to complete a required class in school… I don’t feel like the district is taking this seriously.”

After we published the story, the boy left a bad review on google for this author’s private investigator business, using his real name, thus revealing his identity. KCE never named the boy. Even police point that out.The boy’s mom, Alissa S. O’Neil, called the police twice, asking for them to arrest this author. The police refused because of the first amendment. The first time police responded to O’Neil’s house, O’Neill told police that a “group of 14-year-old girls made up rumors about her ‘daughter’.” A seemingly frustrated deputy responded and told O’Neil again that there is nothing the Sheriff’s Department can do to a journalist for reporting the news.

O’Neil was arrested for domestic abuse and disorderly conduct recently and seemingly made a threat to a “protectee” of the U.S. government, likely President Trump. The United States Secret Service responded to her home on September 12, 2024. The result of the federal investigation is unknown. A police report confirmed what we reported earlier about this 16-year-old boy attacking another student on November 14, 2024, with a laptop by throwing it at the student. He also allegedly threatened to harm other students. The laptop missed the boy, but dented the wall. The school refused to sign a non-consent form, so he couldn’t be charged or prosecuted. Parents tell KCE he was suspended for three days. This boy had many contacts with police, we found through police reports.

O’Neil told police she called many lawyers to sue KCE for defamation, but none called her back. She must not know that the last person to unsuccessfully sue KCE for defamation, while telling the truth, had to write a 5-figure check. We don’t think Alissa has that kind of money.

She also admitted to police that she called and harassed KCE Editor Kevin Mathewson after the article was written.

If and when Alissa finds an attorney unethical enough to sue us, we are anxious for discovery – namely, questioning district staff under oath, to get the entire truth and what was covered up and by who. We also won’t hesitate to seek a money judgement from Ms. O’Neil for a frivolous lawsuit, and will ask for a sizeable amount of money. We will then happily garnish her wages until we are paid in full.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty is seeking a student, who can remain confidential, to be the plaintiff in a title IX complaint. They will take the complaint for free. It must be a student that was affected by this boy, or even scared to use the locker room.

KCE is still collecting information and will report back when more is known.

  1. This person damaged a laptop and wall that the citizens paid for with tax dollars-
    Maybe all districts should be required by law to pursue a complaint of vandalism/criminal damage on any damage over a certain dollar amount. Propose that to the schoolboard(s) and have them vote before their $100,000,000 referendum.
    If you have money to keep replacing laptops, you have “too much” money.
