LANSING, Mich. – Michigan’s State Board of Education is suggesting a new guidance policy for schools regarding transgender and “gender nonconforming” student issues that parents will want to see.

The “State Board of Education Statement and Guidance on Safe and Supportive Learning Environments for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) Students” was issued in a memorandum from State Superintendent Brian J. Whiston to the State Board of Education in February without a press release or media coverage.

The document is set to be approved at the state board meeting May 10, “after a period of public comment.”

It seemingly suggests that school officials should deceive parents if their children live a different gender identity at school against their wishes, encourages curriculum focused on transgender equality, and provides preferred policies for a wide range of transgender issues, from restroom access and locker room access to participation in physical education and intramural sports, school dress codes, and other considerations.

The “statement and guidance” also directs districts to minimize traditional gender-based student activities.

The Michigan State Board of Education “encourages districts to … support the formation of extracurricular student-led clubs, such as Gay-Straight Alliances or Gender and Sexuality Alliances (GSAs) in middle and high schools, in accordance with local policies,” the document reads.

Meanwhile, “districts should evaluate all gender-based programs and practices and maintain only those that have a clear and sound educational purpose. Gender-based programs and practices can have the unintentional consequence of marginalizing, stigmatizing, and excluding transgender and GNC students.”

The proposed document urges schools to, “Encourage respect for the human and civil rights of all people, including those who are LGBTQ, across the curriculum,” by including lessons “throughout the curriculum, in “areas such as social studies, English language arts, creative arts, and health education, including sex education.”

Schools should also do their best to identify students in school records using the gender identity of their choice, including school email addresses and unofficial school records, when requested, the guidance states.

Also, “students should be allowed to use the restroom in accordance with their gender identity.” The same goes for locker rooms or changing facilities because “a student should not be required to use a locker room that is incongruent with their gender identity,” according to the document.

Schools should also allow students to participate in physical education, intramural, and interscholastic sports “in accordance with their gender identity” – including on overnight stays – and to dress in with clothes matching their preferred gender identity while in school, the statement reads.

Some transgender students have parents that don’t approve of their lifestyle, and schools should allow students to live out their chosen gender identity at school, regardless of their parents’ perspective. And parents who don’t approve don’t deserve to know what’s going on at school unless the student gives officials explicit permission to reveal the details, according to the proposed state policy.

“Transgender and GNC students have the right to decide when, with whom, and to what extent to share private information,” the document reads. “When contacting the parent/guardian of a transgender or GNC student, school staff should use the student’s legal name and the pronoun corresponding to the student’s assigned sex at birth, unless the student or parent/guardian has specified otherwise.”

The suggested transgender policies for Michigan students mirror the Obama administration’s interpretation of Title IX protections, though many legal experts dispute the federal government’s legal analysis.

And while many schools across the country work to craft “inclusive” transgender policies based on the government’s Title IX interpretation, states like Wisconsin and conservative school districts around the country are working to cement school policies based on biological gender, EAGnews reports.
