In response to Trump's executive order mandating discrimination against transgender students in schools, multiple school districts have publicly rejected the directive. These districts, including Montgomery County in Maryland, reiterated their commitment to protecting transgender students’ rights and identity. School officials emphasized the importance of local authority in educational matters, vowing to support teachers and uphold their values of equity and respect. This stand comes amidst threats of legal consequences for those who would support trans students, marking a significant pushback against the federal order.
"We stand by our community and school system values, which include learning, relationships, respect, excellence, and equity. They guide us every day and anchor us when navigating difficult times."
"We are committed to maintaining local authority over our curriculum, teaching, and learning. And we will fiercely support our teachers and staff as they implement our curriculum and policies."
