School District’s Trans Policy Under Fire

School District's Trans Policy Under Fire

Source: Fox News

Summary

A conservative legal group, America First Legal (AFL), has called on the Trump administration to investigate an Alaska school district over its policy on gender identity information. The policy instructs school administrators to use a student’s legal name and pronouns when communicating with parents, even if the student is going by a different name and pronouns at school. AFL argues that this policy “requires school staff to present one identity to parents while facilitating another at school, effectively directing them to deceive parents about their own children.” The DOJ Civil Rights Division has already opened a similar probe into Los Angeles Unified School District.

It’s just another stage in the ongoing debate over parent rights and school policies.
