TX school district postpones school policy
Quote:
It’s been a year since Keller Independent School District trustees first censured trustee Jo Lynn Haussmann for making disparaging comments about a Muslim election official on social media.
But now she may have really gone too far, as some legal experts suggest that her efforts to kill a proposed district policy protecting LGBT faculty and students could result in her removal from the board.
Haussmann’s public statements and social media comments against the policy change, along with opposition from her fellow trustee Brad Schofield, forced the Keller ISD board to postpone a vote on the LGBT nondiscrimination and harassment policy on Thursday. Aug. 13.
The policy would have extended protections to students and employees based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, as well as other currently protected classes such as race, sex and religion.
In one post, she called the policy change unnecessary, alleging all students are already protected against bullying.
“KISD has a very strong stance against bullying. All students are protected against bullying,” she wrote, instead blaming the push for an ordinance on “two lesbians [who] attended a school board meeting and felt they were being bullied.”
To Haussmann, the real agenda for supporters of the proposed policy is what’s behind the bathroom door.
“I asked [Superintendent Randy Reid] what they would do with the transgenders and homosexuals once they would get ‘their choice’ of restroom or locker room; ie, if they’re a boy and ‘think’ they’re female they can use the girls’ restroom or locker room. YUCK!” Haussmann wrote in a post on social media. “The reason I am sharing this is not only because I am so upset, but because I NEED YOU AT OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING.”
The post was widely circulated on social media and galvanized both sides to attend the Aug. 13 board meeting.
Haussmann did offer a solution for transgender individuals. In one post, she supported the idea that “transgenders” undergoing reparative therapy — the discredited psychological practice purporting to help LGBT people can change their sexual orientation or gender identity.
