Last school year, Fort Worth Independent School District paid for music teachers to attend a training course teaching them how to foster an “inclusive” classroom environment.
FWISD administrators say they have since discontinued the training.
The training course was titled “Blurring the Binary: Teaching Transgender Students in the Music Classroom” and cost the district $500 per teacher.
During the 2022-2023 school year, at least 20 district music teachers attended and received credit for the course.
