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 new guidelines that will go into effect this school year. “School practice shall consider the gender of all students as being consistent with their biological sex.”
The policy stipulates that all students will be treated according to their proper sex in participation in school athletics, dances, dress and uniform policies, the use of changing facilities, showers, locker rooms, and bathrooms, as well as titles, names, pronouns, and official school documents.
