New policy OK'd for transgender students in Jersey City
The Jersey Journal ^ | June 17, 2016

Posted on 06/17/2016 5:17:22 PM PDT by SMGFan

The school board last night adopted a new policy that proponents hope will make the public schools more accommodating to transgender students. >>>>>>>The new policy requires the district to issue student ID cards in the name that reflects the student's gender identity; requires school staff to address students by the names and pronouns corresponding to their gender identity, even if the students have not obtained court-approved name changes; and allows students to dress in accordance with their gender identity.

The policy also bans the district from forcing students to use restrooms or locker rooms that conflict with their gender identity.

About two dozen school districts in New Jersey, including in Pequannock, Jackson and Ocean Township, have adopted similar policies.

Just how many cross dressing tranny kids are there in school these days? From the headlines you’d think it a good 10 percent at least!

Bullcrap. We have laws in America. A person has a legal birth certificate that states both their gender and name. You can not change your gender in any manner. You can change you name legally but you must use the Court system to do so.
A school board had no authority to make a legal name change.
We either follow the law in America or we do not.
If your name is tom and you have a birth certificate that states you are male, you have no legal right to force me to play along with any mental condition you might have. The shool, the State etc, have no right to compel me to play a long or to takee any action against me if I do not.
