A Texas school district has banned trans-identifying students from using the bathroom of the opposite sex and prohibited school staff from promoting preferred pronouns.
The school board for the Keller Independent School District just north of Fort Worth passed the policies on June 28 in a 5-0 vote. One school board member abstained, and another member was not present.
One of the policies states that district employees “shall not promote, encourage, or require the use of pronouns that are inconsistent with a student’s or other person’s biological sex.”
Another new policy requires students to use the bathroom and locker room that “corresponds to their gender assigned at birth.” However, schools may allow students to use a single-stall restroom.
