(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) – The Boulder Valley School District in Boulder, Colorado, says transgender students have a “right” to be addressed by their preferred pronouns and that a person’s failure to do so violates district policy.
The policy says a student “has the right to be addressed by a name and pronoun that corresponds to the student’s gender identity” regardless of whether the student has legally changed his or her name.
“The intentional or persistent refusal to respect a student’s gender identity … is a violation of these Guidelines,” the district’s policy says.
