District employees won't be required to use preferred pronouns under the new rules.
Share this: board voted at a meeting on Monday to remove certain protections for LGBTQ students from the district’s code of conduct and handbook., the school board approved a change to the district’s code of conduct that removed sexual orientation and gender identity from the district’s statement of nondiscrimination and harassment policy.
According to WFAA, school board members said accommodations could be made for students who wish to use a gender-neutral bathroom. “I’m concerned that the handbook, combined with two other policies you’re considering tonight, will create a hostile environment for our LGBTQ students, and will lead to an atmosphere where even well-meaning teachers and administrators are unable to support these marginalized students,” Francis told the board. Once the changes are adopted, Francis said parents and students won’t know if they are protected from discrimination and harassment based on their gender.
“In the end, school should be a compassionate place where students are accepted and valued and encouraged to be their true selves,” Francis said. “If you pass these measures tonight, you will be sending a message that only some students are valued, and when the gender-based bullying, discrimination and harassment begins, and it will, you will be partially responsible.”
