California State Official Escorted Out Of Heated School Board Meeting On Gender Policy

California’s superintendent of public instruction was escorted out of a heated school board meeting on Thursday after he argued against a new policy requiring schools to tell parents about student gender transitions.

The Chino Valley Unified School District just east of Los Angeles approved the gender policy on Thursday after several hours of debate.

The new policy requires teachers to inform parents if their children begin using names and pronouns that do not match the ones on their birth certificate or if a student requests to use the school bathroom of the opposite gender.

California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond showed up at Thursday’s packed meeting and addressed the school board.
