Transgender Bathroom Ban Bill Introduced

Transgender Bathroom Ban Bill Introduced

Following the recent passage of a gender equity and access policy by the Vermillion School Board, which allows students to use the locker room and restroom with which gender they identify, a South Dakota lawmaker has introduced a bill that would prohibit that practice.

State Representative Fred Deutsch of Florence says many Vermillion parents encouraged him to sponsor the bill…

Deutsch adds that many people across the state were flabbergasted by the action of the Vermillion School Board…

In early November, the Vermillion School District became the first and only school in the state to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms that correspond with the gender in which they identify with.
