A high school biology teacher was suspended for not complying with the school district's student pronoun policy, but was reinstated after students and parents protested.
At the meeting, the school board not only reinstated the teacher, but suspended the policy, with plans to rewrite it, according to WXPI.
South Side School District Superintendent Alan Fritz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News. However, he defended the decision to local paper Beaver County Times. "All students are welcome here. As educators, we have a responsibility to ensure all students feel welcomed and valued in school so that they can receive the education to which they are entitled," the paper quoted him as saying.
