Worcester Bishop Robert McManus has issued a counter-cultural policy for Catholic schools in his diocese, banning cross-dressing and pronouns that conflict with a student’s biological sex.
“All students are expected to conduct themselves at school in a manner consistent with their biological sex,” read the newthat will go into effect this school year. “School practice shall consider the gender of all students as being consistent with their biological sex.”
Perhaps more radically still, the guidelines also bar students from expressing or promoting homosexuality, such as Gay Pride events. “We do not serve anyone’s greater good by falsifying the truth, for it is only the truth that frees us for the full life that God offers to each of us,” the text states, and thus, “when a person experiences same-sex attraction or some form of gender dysphoria, such struggles do not change the biological fact of how God created that person, and it would be untruthful for the Catholic Church or our Catholic schools to pretend otherwise.
