Dozens of people spoke during a Keller ISD School Board meeting Tuesday night about proposed policies that would impact LGBTQ+ students.
Keller ISD is considering requiring transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms based on their gender assigned at birth, instead of their gender identity.
The district may also discourage teachers from using pronouns that correspond with a trans student's gender identity. Opponents, including at least one teacher who has taught trans students, called it an attempt to bully LGBTQ+ youth. "Out of my love and kindness of that student, I will honor that for that child. It is my job as a teacher to protect every student and make them feel safe in order to learn," Keller ISD teacher Mark Weaver said."Forcing pronouns on an individual basis is not doable and is disruptive to the education process," Keller resident Charles Lewis
The American Civil Liberties Union warned Keller ISD that the proposed policies would violate state and federal laws. Grapevine-Colleyville ISD added similar policies last year.
