So-called Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos visits school with anti-transgender policy
Betsy DeVos‘ stop in Pennsylvania raised some eyebrows, as Harrisburg Catholic Elementary School is not inclusive of transgender students and staff and has a strict policy against sex reassignment.
The school is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg. «Catholic educators as well as all other members of the school staff and community are called to be witnesses to Jesus Christ and His Church», the school’s policy on gender identity reads. «When parents enrol a child in a Catholic school in the diocese they agree that they will not publicly [sic] act in opposition to Catholic teaching».
