"The Massapequa School Board's job is to protect and support the young people entrusted to their care - instead, they are abusing their power and authority to target vulnerable students for who they are,"
"All students have a right to safe, inclusive learning environments, and trans students are no different,"
"priority has always been - and will continue to be - the safety, dignity, and well-being of all students"
The Massapequa Board of Education unanimously approved a policy ordering students to use restrooms and locker rooms based on biological sex as defined under federal law. The New York Civil Liberties Union filed a civil rights lawsuit with state Education Commissioner Betty Rosa on behalf of a transgender student who reportedly has been singled out and forced into separate, uncomfortable facilities. The NYCLU argues the rule violates state, human and civil rights laws and New York education regulations protecting gender identity and expression and asks the commissioner to overturn the policy. The district stated its priority remains the safety, dignity, and well-being of all students.
