Minneapolis Public School Board passes ‘gender inclusion’ policy
Catholic Vote ^ | June 17, 2024 | Madalaine Elhabbal

CV NEWS FEED // The Minneapolis Public School Board has passed a new “gender inclusion” policy that mandates protections for students who identify as “transgender.”

The Board passed the resolution on June 11, enshrining “students’ right to be addressed by the name and pronoun they prefer while ensuring parental access to data records,” according to local reports.

The new policy allows “trans-identifying” students to use bathrooms and other designated spaces that correspond to their professed “gender identity.” Students can share hotel rooms on school trips with students who are not of the same sex.

The resolution document states that the purpose of the policy is to “[ensure] that all students have access to programming and facilities in which they feel comfortable, supported, and safe.”

The document adds that the policy specifically seeks to address “inequities” that “intersex, transgender, two-spirit, gender expansive, non-binary, and gender questioning students” experience.

In her reaction to the Board’s decision, Minnesota Parents Alliance Cristine Trooien told the Daily Signal that “[i]t is disappointing, but not surprising, to see the Minneapolis School Board’s activism and willingness to put the rights and safety of some students over others in order to advance a very narrow social agenda.”

Devin Foley, the executive director of school choice advocacy group Opportunities For All Kids, denounced the Board’s decision in an interview with local news outlet, KARE 11.

“Does that mean that a boy can be in my girl’s bathroom?” Foley asked, continuing, “By the policy, yes.”

“An enormous amount of energy is spent on a gender inclusion policy, when less than half of the kids are proficient in reading,” he added.

Time for the large Muzzdog population to call a Jihad on the school board.

Continuing the promotion of sex deviance, mental problems without treatment, and ignoring the rights to privacy of the vast majority of students is NOT good policy; it's LUNACY.

Yet ANOTHER Affirmative Action Plan, for a designated/targeted group, yet no 14th Amendment Claim by the vast majority will be Heard.....THAT is what selectively placed Judges have caused.

“What about furries?”

I’m sure the schools could set up litter boxes around the school or let them out side to go on the grass.

But, if they do it on the grass, they need to pick it up when they're through ...

That is the end of overnight school trips.

Lots of Somali Muslims and other blacks in Minneapolis.

Black girls (never mind the black boys) might not be so tolerant if they see a pink-haired white boy entering their restroom.

B-b-but Islam is incompatible with Western values....exemplified by tatted up thots and men with beards in dresses. This is why we must fight for Ukraine! Our entire way of life is at stake!

This is the same city that’s changing street signs to pride signs. That’s right it’s a gay flag with white lettering on it. Legal? No. Do they care? No. Will booty juice stop them? No. Do these new signs do anything to fix the crime problem in Minneapolis? No

But they get virtue signaling points

ALL students? BS. The NORMAL students aren't given half a second of consideration. None of these Leftist freak-happy administrators care a bit that NORMAL kids are UNcomfortable, UNsupported, and UNsafe. In fact, they see all that as a bonus!

You have to wonder about the muslims....ordinarily they would be up in arms. Maybe they’re paid off.

Sounds like that school board is as crazy as some of the students may be. Or maybe that is the cause of it all?
