Downstairs bathrooms at the Captain Cook Hotel.

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.

    • We did say the pledge of allegiance every single morning on Post. I worked at an elementary school in Fairbanks. Arctic Light Elementary at Fort Wainwright. Why are they spending money on these meetings to discuss nonsense when they are closing 6 schools in Fairbanks and they can’t cover retiree pensions? Furries? Sounds like a job for API.

  1. Do they focus on education at all? I notice that they are all about division, caucus this, caucus that.

  2. 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?

  3. 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…

  4. “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…?‍♂️

  5. 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.

  6. 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 disagree.
        This was a brilliant move on the hotel management’s part. I am certain the union expected that ALL bathrooms be designated “anything goes” to make a woke statement and if the hotel did not comply promised a big stink. By designating only men’s rooms to all genders, it firmly put women’s spaces off-limits. Hoisting them with their own petard so to speak!

  7. 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.

    • Another Alaskan icon goes down to “wokeism”. So sad, the capitulation to this radical ideology. I’ll be skipping Fletchers and the Crows Nest after many years of enjoyment with family and friends.

      • I got wookie drunk once at Fletchers and then sh*t in one of the men’s bathroom urinals. Good times. Didn’t realize at the time how apropos that would be as a statement regarding this current event at the Cook….

    • Tamra; whoa.. let’s not get to hasty now. Why on earth would educators talk about education at an education conference?

  8. 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.

  9. A few years ago, I went through some NEA-Alaska newsletters from the mid-70s. One year, the president was Terry Stimson. Another year, it was Pat Abney. In other words, typical training ground for a career in politics. Anyway, they had a feature on members who were delegates to the 1976 RNC. Whodathunk? Has that happened since?

  10. There are other domestic models to fill a teacher shortage-Clark County, NV fast tracks people with bachelor degrees, experience, etc with state incentives to hire local talent.

  11. Since they are at Capt. Cook, appears they have plenty of money and don’t need raises, contrary to their perennial claims….

    • The union is at the Cook. They are spending their member’s dues.
      It is the members that need raises. Most likely in order to pay the union dues so the union representatives can stay at the Cook.

  12. This means we will be booking our company Christmas party elsewhere next year. We aren’t supporting spineless Alaskans even if they are relics. Shame on captain cook “management.”
    Clown World Yuck

    • What business will you book with?
      Are you sure they will not do what their clients ask? If you were to ask for July 4th decorations instead of Christmas ones, would you expect that hotel’s management to have “spine” and tell you to go elsewhere?

  13. Carter created the Dept. of Education in 1979 and, at that time, the US was #1 in high school and college education. Now we are number 16. Trump should ash can the whole damn thing on January 21. The incredible waste under the guise of “education” in this country has become unwieldy and should be returned to the purview of the states. The NEA has become a liberal political action committee that does very little to advance education and zero federal or state dollars should go to that organization. From 1989 through the 2014 election cycle, the NEA spent over $92 million on political campaign contributions, 97% of which went to Democrats. This should be enough to show how little this is about education and how much it is about retaining political control.

  14. I wonder if the Captain Cook staff are aware the problem hasn’t been women in the men’s bathroom, it has been guys with tits going into the women’s bathroom.

  15. Awful ritzy digs for the meeting of the union of all those”poor” teachers. could it be that they really don’t need more!andMORE! Of our money

  16. Thank goodness Trump delivered on his promise to legally declare what should not be needed to be legally declared;
    Male
    Female.

    The Gay Alphabet Mafia has gone totally off the rails; crying “You cannot legislate us out of existence!”

    I am not kidding, they/them honestly believe they have been legislated out of existence.
