EAG: LANCASTER, N.Y. – In the state of New York, public schools must consider directives from both federal and state officials when dealing with the issue of open restroom and locker room choice for transgender students.
The U.S. Department of Education has ruled that transgender students must be allowed to use the facilities that match their perceived gender, regardless of biological reality.
And the New York Department of Education released a document earlier this year, recommending that schools follow the federal directive.
But many people in the Lancaster school district want their school board to stand up to authorities and reject the concept.
The school board took note of that opposition earlier this week and voted to table a proposed policy that would have allowed transgender kids to use the school restrooms of their choice, according to several news outlets.
Mary Kless, a former Lancaster school board member, echoed the feelings of many in the crowd of about 200 at the school board meeting when she urged her former colleagues to stand up to state and federal authorities and refuse to adopt the policy, according to a report from WKBW-TV. read more
My school district faced down this issue earlier this year. Half the town turned out for the meeting. The School Board voted unanimously to reject common bathrooms AND their demand for common locker rooms by one trans kid in the school district. Of course the ACLU is now suing. Simple response that worked and can’t be repeated often enough if your town faces this, “Our boys showering with our girls. Do we really want that?” You’ll seldom find a parent who will respond in any way other than complete revulsion. With that kind of support politicians feel much more comfortable doing a unanimous vote.
Someone actually standing up to government authority? Be still my heart.
this is all trump’s fault.
just makes you smile a little bit.
This is exactly why the department of education should be abolished,
New signage should take care of this issue once and for all.
Dicks and Slits
if you are not sure take it out and someone will help you find the right door.
Holes and Poles. Either one works.
