CLASS: Public Toilets, Private Problems

Where do you go when there's nowhere to go? In this episode, we dive into the frustrating reality of bathroom access for homeless people. From businesses refusing restrooms to the lack of public facilities, we ask: Is it moral to deny someone access to basic hygiene?
We explore the legal, ethical, and public health implications. Plus, we look at bizarre stories of people lashing out after being denied restrooms (yes, someone actually threw feces).

At the end of the episode, we expand the conversation to discuss free access to basic necessities like water, food, and shelter—and why something as simple as a toilet can reveal how society really treats its most vulnerable.
Is bathroom access a human right, or do businesses have the right to say no? Let’s get into it.
