The policy — announced earlier this week ahead of the school year — prohibits students and staff in the diocese school system from using pronouns, clothing, bathrooms or locker rooms that don't align with the sex they were assigned at birth.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Worcester is under fireannounced earlier this week ahead of the school year
— prohibits students and staff in the diocese school system from using pronouns, clothing, bathrooms or locker rooms that don't align with the sex they were assigned at birth."All students are expected to conduct themselves at school in a manner consistent with their biological sex," the policy says.
Why? WBUR's Fausto Menard reports the diocese says it's trying to ensure uniformity, since some schools had policies on the subject and others didn't. At the same time, the diocese says schools will not tolerate any harassment, threats or violence against students based on their perceived sex, sexual orientation or gender identity.
The backlash: A local Catholic group that supports LGBTQ+ rights is calling for the policy to be rescinded. Marianne Duddy-Burke, the head of Boston-based organization, says the new Worcester policy singles out children who identify as transgender or nonbinary. Duddy-Burke added LGBTQ+ children are already more likely to be bullied or depressed, and the new policy could make things worse.
We'll let you guess the reason. National Climate Prediction Center meteorologist Dan Collins says the global warming trend is"a significant factor in the outlook for September, October and November."
