The Jan. 22 edition of the Kent Reporter had two news items regarding the Kent School District: the school board has approved a transgender student policy, and they are seeking funds for new schools and improvements to existing schools.
Let me address the new policy first. The district feels that this new policy will help students feel safe in the schools. If it helps some transgender students feel safe, what about the majority who are not confused about who they are? Will this new policy help them to feel safe? How has this new policy helped to make “all” students feel safe?
I have consistently voted for funds for educational purposes, knowing that this is very important for the future of our country to have done our best to educate our youth. Now for a short true or false question, “I will likely vote to fund the new bond issue. True or false?”
