Feds Forcing Public Schools to Adopt 'Nondiscrimination' for 'Transgender' Teachers and Students

Cnsnews.com reports: "The U.S. Department of Education is demanding that the Fairfax County Public Schools, in the Virginia suburbs just outside Washington, D.C., 'revise their non-discrimination policies to include gender identity' or risk losing the federal funds they receive for their schools. The 'nondiscrimination' would apply to transgender students and teachers. The Fairfax County School Board is scheduled to vote on the new policy, a revision of its existing non-discrimination rule, Policy 1450, on Thursday,  May 7. The 'Gender Identity' or transgender policy is explained in a May 6, 2015 memo issued by Steven A. Lockard, the deputy superintendent of the Fairfax County Public Schools. It states: 'The Office of Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education is requiring that school divisions 1) revise their non-discrimination policies to include gender identity, and 2) hire a consultant to advise on revisions to regulations and, more generally how school divisions should handle individual cases of transgender students.'..."
