The four-page resolution, introduced by Board Member Brendan Shea, says the Biden Administration's plan to expandto include gender identity and sexual orientation could destroy"foundational truths upon which education rests."
"Timing, I believe, is of the essence," Shea said." this were to drag out until December, I think it would significantly detract from what it's trying to do."The 18-member board opted to send the resolution through the normal committee process instead of considering it as an emergency resolution. That means it could come up for a vote at the meeting scheduled for Oct. 12.
It would also ask Ohio's state lawmakers to pass legislation that bans transgender girls from competing on female sports teams, give state dollars to schools that lost federal funding for opposing these Title IX changes and require schools to notify parents if their children express that they might be LGBTQ."It’s awfully burdensome and heavy-handed to force every school in the nation to adopt extreme gender identity policies," Shea said Tuesday.
And several transgender Ohioans said the resolution would give students, teachers and even administrators cover to mistreat LGBTQ students.
You guys make it sound like they are in danger all the time at school. They’re not, not anymore than any other child is. Asking kids to use bathrooms that correspond with their biological gender is not abusive. Some folks are bound and determined to sexualize children. It’s abuse
There is no other choice but yes.
