The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan is demanding Jenison Public Schools change its policy regarding bathrooms and transgender students.
This comes after a transgender student took discrimination complaints to the organization.
The ACLU says the criticism stems from a Tuesday MLive article that reports Superintendent Thomas TenBrink “said transgender students have the option of using a gender-neutral restroom installed last summer for all students, the bathroom that corresponds with the gender assigned to them at birth or one of three unisex staff bathrooms.”
The ACLU says that policy is harmful and stigmatizes transgender students. The organization wrote a letter to the district on Tuesday outlining its concerns.
