Calif. school, feds settle transgender complaint – Quincy Herald-Whig | Illinois & Missouri News, Sports:
“DOWNEY, Calif. (AP) – A Southern California school district has settled a government claim that it discriminated against a transgender student who said she was forbidden to wear makeup, was harassed by other children and was encouraged to change schools, it was announced Tuesday.
The Downey Unified School District agreed to give the teenager access to the same facilities and activities as other female students, including athletic tryouts and district-sponsored overnight events, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.
Without acknowledging any violations of federal law, the district southeast of Los Angeles also agreed to ensure that the middle-school student wouldn’t be disciplined ‘for acting or appearing in a manner that does not conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity,’ according to an agreement reached Oct. 8.”
