The administration of Delaware Gov. John Carney, a Democrat, has reversed a prior policy proposal that would have allowed children to identify as transgender at school without notifying their parents or obtaining their permission.
Delaware education secretary Susan Bunting reversed course after reviewing some 11,000 comments, the majority opposed to the original provision that was termed an “anti-discrimination” policy.
Bunting’s office said the new version of the policy:
Removes the provision that allowed students to make changes on how they were identified without parental involvement and adds a requirement of parental notification and permission; and
Substitutes the state’s suggested model policy for a guidance document to assist districts and charters in creating local policies.
The original transgender provision was drafted by a panel consisting of educators, parents, and advocates appointed by Bunting.

How can a child identify as anything other than a child?
ReplyDeleteThink about the definition of CHILD for crying out loud.
Who thought it was a good idea to let a child choose his her gender?
Crazy.
They should be playing with each other not talking about their sex organs.
A way to help those who are confused. "You were born a male and are a male" vice versa.
