District Hides Gender Identity

Alleged incident in Puyallup School District · Washington

The Puyallup School District implemented a policy allowing staff to withhold information from parents regarding a student's gender identity. This policy prioritizes student preference over parental notification, especially if parents are perceived as unsupportive. It also permits students to use facilities and participate in activities aligning with their asserted gender identity.
