After facing a lawsuit over its treatment of a kindergartener who says they identify as transgender, a nationally recognized public charter school in Minnesota has agreed to adopt a far-reaching new policy.
The Daily Signal reports Nova Classical Academy promised in the settlement to establish a gender inclusion policy that “doesn’t allow parents to opt out.”
What’s more, the school is to also “not call parents’ or guardians’ attention to the policy.”
The parents of the child had filed suit saying the school failed to prevent bullying and hostility directed at their child who was born a boy, but says he identifies as a girl.
The school also agreed to pay the child’s parents $120,000.
