California School Board Says Allowing Opt-Out of Discussions on Gender Identity Would Be ‘Discriminatory’

Sep 21, 2017 | 0 |

Officials with a school board in California that recently drew controversy after a kindergarten teacher read two books to students about transgender issues stated during a meeting on Monday that allowing opt-outs of discussions on gender identity and homosexuality would be “discriminatory.” While the Rocklin Academy School Board agreed to provide advance notice about such discussions, it asserted in a

revised policy that to allow parents to opt-out their children “on the basis of characteristics of protected classes (e.g., race, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, and disabilities) creates a discriminatory environment that is prohibited by law.” In some cases, when the matter conflicts with student privacy rights, parents might not be provided with all of the details and reasoning for the lesson or discussion.
