(JUST THE NEWS) – Rhode Island’s biggest school district is refusing to name the adult advisors to its LGBTQ student clubs, claiming the parent activist seeking their identities posted “medical information” about the primary subject of the public records request.
That medical information is the gender identity of Aarav Sundaresh, Providence Public Schools director of equity and belonging, a biological woman who has spoken publicly about identifying as a man. The district even identifies Sundaresh as a “founding Core Collective member for the National Trans Educators Network.”
Nicole Solas, a parent and lawyer, is now demanding that Providence deputy city solicitor Charles Ruggerio, who is representing the district, face professional sanctions for “wilfully [sic] and knowingly lying” to Attorney General Peter Neronha about Solas, also a lawyer, “doxing” Sundaresh. Solis denies doxxing, arguing her statements were protected by free-speech.
