The space camp at the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center is internationally renown. It's a major attraction for kids who are interested in science, space, and engineering.

Alabama official calls for firing of transgender Space Camp employee after parent speaks out
quote:
Several Alabama politicians say they are concerned about children’s safety at Huntsville’s Space Camp after a parent complained about the presence of a transgender employee.
quote:
Clay Yarbrough of Owens Cross Roads, the father of an 11-year-old Huntsville city school student, said he became aware on Thursday evening that a Space Camp crew member is transgender.
quote:
His daughter was to attend camp in a week as part of a school exercise, he said.
“I heard that one little girl had called her parents and said this guy is in the (dorm) room and ‘I don’t feel comfortable,’” Yarbrough said.
The employee referenced by critics declined to comment Monday.
quote:
“We would like to assure parents, teachers, and the public that the safety and security of Space Camp students is our number one priority. Any allegations of misconduct are taken very seriously. We are working to determine the facts in this case, after which we will take appropriate action,” a statement from the Space and Rocket Center on Monday read.
quote:
“Additionally, staff sleep in separate rooms from students and use separate bathroom facilities. We also provide 24-hour onsite security including round-the-clock video surveillance, regular foot and vehicle patrols, and controlled campus and building access,” the center said.
“We are an apolitical organization with no social agenda. Our singular mission is to inspire and educate.”
quote:
“It is imperative that Space Camp remains a safe place for children and young people,” Tuberville said. “I urge the Space and Rocket Center to ensure that its reputation as a world-renowned camp remains untarnished by the progressive agenda of today,” Tuberville said.
quote:
Yarbrough said he called Space Camp on Friday and asked questions of Space Camp Vice President Robin Soprano.
“She said, ‘I can assure you that your kid’s safety is my number one priority, and no males are allowed in female dorms, and no females are allowed in male dorms.’ So I asked, do you allow transgenders in?”
quote:
Yarbrough said Soprano “dodged” several additional questions, but finally told him that a trans female was allowed on the dorm hallways, and the dorm rooms are not locked.
Yarbrough said he questioned Soprano about whether the crew member would be alone with the young people attending the camp.
“She just kind of set there for a minute, and then said to me, ‘You’re sure throwing out a lot of hypotheticals.’”
quote:
Yarbrough said he was shocked by the “garbage” he saw on the employee’s social accounts. AL.com has not independently verified whether the social media accounts in question belong to a Space Camp crew member.
“Are you not vetting your people? You find that instantly. It takes five minutes to find what we found on Twitter. I’m aggravated I didn’t find out beforehand,” Yarbrough said.
He said he plans to withdraw his daughter from Space Camp and does not think it is appropriate if someone born male is alone with girls in a camp setting.

They're taking diversity in space a little too far

I’m pretty sure that was the wrong way to answer the father of an 11 year old girl

I knew it was a matter of time before this was posted. It’s even worse. The boy/girl’s social media posts are full of trans crap.

Obviously every trans person is not trying to rape 11 year old girls because they are allowed in the women’s bathroom or a dorm room.
Every illegal immigrant is not trying to rape and murder college girls out on a run.
The majority are not.
But when you have the Louden County Schools situation and then Laken Riley, you realize that it’s ok to say “we would like to eliminate this ‘hypothetical’ if possible.“

This story is actually fairly entertaining. Clay's Facebook is wide open, and he makes zero apologies for his views despite the media attention.
Here's Clay, an ole baw (who has a pretty wife):
Here's Molly, the camp counselor:
And a few of her social media posts:

Based off their social media they definitely should not be allowed to work with kids.

Yeah, despite the mugshot, I'm with dad on this one.

There have always been stories about creepy camp counselors, then you see this mofos social media and it's full of sexual shite. Makes you wonder if they did a background check at all.

I've worked with several youth programs. #1 rule for youth protection is always never be alone with any of the youth at any time for any reason. I can't imagine any youth serving organization not having the same rules for liability reasons.

I don't even think this little perv is trans. Just looks like an incel that is trying to get closer to girls.
