From: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2012/10/18/east-aurora-school-board-now-wants-to-rescind-transgender-policy/
On Monday, the East Aurora Board of Education voted unanimously in favor of a policy that would benefit transgender and gender-nonconforming students:

The new policy specifically states that transgendered and gender nonconforming students have the right use the restroom that corresponds to their gender-related identity that is consistently asserted at school. The student has the right to be addressed by the name they want to be called, too.

“A court-ordered name or gender change is not required, and the student needs not change his or her official records,” the policy states.

“In no case shall a transgender student be required to use a locker room that conflicts with the student’s gender-related identity,” the policy reads.


They are now going to vote to rescind this policy due to religious and political opposition and ignorance in general. Please sign the petition created on change.org to let this school board know that they had it right the first time!
