Trans Kids Stuck In Limbo As Glenn Youngkin Delays Anti-Trans Policies

Huff Post  

Glenn Youngkin spent the fall confidently proclaiming that his administration would implement policies targeting transgender students in public schools. There is also an ongoing conservative effort to dismantle public schools and remake them as profit centers, which Boletti said may be connected to Youngkin’s push for anti-trans policies. “The best way to do that is to get their parents to pull their kids out of school, and they’re doing it through reactionary rage.” The legally required 30-day public notice period before implementing the new policies ended on Nov. 26, and the Youngkin administration was technically allowed to enact them on that date. “It’s not clear that they consulted any experts at all.” Legal experts are also concerned that the way the policies are written may require schools to violate state and federal discrimination laws. “I’m hearing from kids and families in Fairfax County that it’s been psychologically difficult.” Chapman moved to Virginia right after the policies were announced, which she said have made her “seriously reconsider” her decision.
