The board voted last week to add a policy to its agenda for Monday’s meeting that advocates said would discriminate against transgender students.
“We’re not a restaurant, we’re not Taco Bell, this is not a public bathroom, this is not a public library, this is a school of education,” said the board president.
“There is zero reason for someone with male genitalia to be in the girls’ facilities,” he said. “It’s a simple matter of biology, safety, personal space.” Students who “choose to identify as something other than your biological anatomy” can use single-user bathrooms, he said. Jason Saylor, the school board’s president, said he had heard from students that “the same thing is happening in our middle schools” and in school locker rooms.
policy, which prohibits discrimination against students based on their gender identity, said Superintendent Barbara Russell. Of the proposed policy, “I don’t know what we’re solving,” Russell said. “There isn’t a problem right now.”
