Jack goes to the town hall meeting alone because Mr. Sasko had a last-minute family emergency. He was told to wait until the next meeting but believes that he can handle it on his own. Jack’s turn to speak doesn’t come until the end of the meeting, and he explains to the board that the school is being held to unfair expectations considering its size. He shows the board his stack of signatures. When Jack mentions that the state is expecting a gender-neutral bathroom but there isn’t room for one, a man in the audience misunderstands Jack’s comments and yells out that transgender people are “gross.” Soon, the conversation devolves, and the meeting is adjourned. Jack is told that the school needs to meet state expectations, and he leaves, having accomplished nothing.
