The board is set to vote on whether it opposes Biden Administration changes to add gender identity and sexual orientation to Title IX protections.
It's a change that could require schools to permit transgender student access to bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams or face a loss of federal funds.63% of Americans oppose transgender girls competing on teams," Shea said when he introduced the resolution in September."Given these numbers, it’s awfully burdensome and heavy-handed to force every school in the nation to adopt extreme gender identity policies.
“The resolution attempts to invalidate federal protections for LGBTQ+ youth in schools, spreads harmful falsehoods about LGBTQ+ people, and advocates that local school districts ignore federal law,” Honesty for Ohio Education President Cynthia Peeples said in a statement.
"This is more of a statement of what the board believes and supports," Board Member John Hagan said."We are a local choice state and each board can decide what they want to do with this." In short, it could be months or even potentially years before these rule changes became official and the potential penalties enforceable. A fact that worries supporters of LGBTQ+ children.
