While there are no litter boxes for “furries,” (people who dress up as dogs or cats), the Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage has accommodated the National Education Association’s Delegate Assembly and changed the sign on a men’s bathroom to make it an “all-gender” bathroom.
There’s still a women’s restroom on the floor just below the lobby level where Fletcher’s pub is located, but the other bathroom, formerly for men and boys, has a new sign on it, because management did not want to deal with NEA complaints, according to Must Read Alaska sources.

Pledge of Allegiance ? Do any of them actually know it? We know that Kamala Harris doesn’t.
Do they focus on education at all? I notice that they are all about division, caucus this, caucus that.
No kidding. First thing I noticed as well.
They really love caucus, especially if they can remove them from little boys by tconvincingt hem they’re now little girls
Excuse me lady’s while I transform into a Democrap and follow you into the restroom
Good call by the Captain Cook to make the men’s bathroom all-gender. How much of the issue is women demanding to use the men’s facilities? The reality is that the “gender” issue is largely an issue of men demanding to use the women facilities, be it a bathroom, locker room, etc. Can you imagine the problems if they made the female bathroom the all-gender?
Hilarious!
At least they had the brains to change the men’s room, rather than the women’s.
Somebody at Captain Cook can smell the winds changing, but is still willing to cater to the crazies…
These are the people who are in control of your children for hours every day, nine months of the year.
Might head down there to relieve myself. Hope I don’t forget to lift the seat.
“because management did not want to deal with NEA complaints”…No big deal for management to give up the dude’s bathroom since there doesn’t seem to be anyone in their group with 🏈🏀⚾️⚽️s that would need to use them anyway…🤦♂️
Why are we encouraging this mental illness???
The teachers need to go on strike against the administration and get dismissed straightened out. You’ll have the Anchorage taxpayer behind you if you guys can help us clean out the line thieving greedy administration. You don’t deserve any more tax dollars until you clean up your mess and unfortunately you’re in the mess because you’re in ASD.
i can’t blame management. These are very emotional and unhinged individuals with unpredictable behavior. You never know when one of them could become triggered and start screaming and breaking things. They didn’t want to deal with the drama.
Wait! Stop making excuses for the hotel management. They’re just as woke and spineless as the teacher’s union and all those other worthless people at this conference.
I miss the Cook. Spent many a night there. Not as a representative of any union because I never joined one. Just a nice, classy, feel good place. I once bought a jade necklace in their gift shop.
At what point do they discuss, you know, teaching?
A bunch of whiny wokesters demand an “all gender” restroom. So Cook management just changes the sign on the womens room. They will change it back as soon as the idiots leave.
