Keller ISD board members on Wednesday passed proposed policy changes impacting pronoun usage and restroom use.
More than 50 people were signed up to speak at a special board meeting Wednesday before the Keller ISD school board more than a week after a, where there was a majority focus on two policies: requiring students to use restrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities based on the sex they were assigned at birth, and another policy that would mean teachers and other district staff cannot promote or require pronouns for a student or any person that don’t match those on their birth certificate.
“So many of you here speak of protecting children, yet so many of you seem so eager of leaving our most vulnerable and at-risk kids behind,” one speaker said. “So many of you have kids and grandkids, imagine for a moment if one of them killed themselves.”“Using pronouns and what bathrooms to go to hasn’t been a problem, you want it to be. That’s not a good enough reason to spend staff time implementing a new policy.
