Students at Chino Valley Unified School District in San Bernardino County recently stood in overwhelming opposition to a proposal that would have excluded transgender students from using restrooms and locker rooms or playing on sports teams corresponding to their gender identity. State officials also warned the school board that the proposal violated a state law in place since 2014.
In this week’s episode, we hear sound from some of the high school students speaking eloquently for greater inclusion and understanding, and we speak with a teacher who was inspired by the students’ response.
