Prince William County Schools on Thursday announced it will not accept Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s revised guidelines for transgender and nonbinary students. “PWCS celebrates our diversity as a strength and welcomes all students.

PWCS is also committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment and serving as trusted partners in education with our students, families and community,” said the district in a statement. “The purpose of school division policies addressing nondiscrimination is to ensure that all PWCS students and families have access to our educational programs and facilities so they can learn, graduate and have successful futures.

PWCS’ current policies are consistent with federal and state anti-discrimination laws. PWCS policies already prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity consistent with Virginia law.” Fairfax County Public Schools earlier this week became the latest Virginia school district to announce the rejection of Youngkin’s guidelines the state Department of Education released last month.

Spotsylvania County School Board earlier this month approved them. The post Prince William County schools rejects new guidelines for transgender, nonbinary students appeared first on Washington Blade: LGBTQ News, Politics, LGBTQ Rights, Gay News.
