The Muskego-Norway School Board's decision to remove 'gender identity' from its anti-discrimination policy leaves trans and nonbinary students vulnerable to discrimination and harassment.
School board president Terri Boyer stated the removal of gender identity was to 'remain consistent with Wisconsin state law,' though many parents voiced concerns over lack of support for LGBTQ+ students.
Despite the state's pupil nondiscrimination law not explicitly mentioning gender identity, the DPI advocates for its inclusion to foster environments supportive of LGBTQ+ students.
The lack of a protective policy highlights a growing trend of hostile legislation against trans students nationwide, raising alarms among parents and advocacy groups.
