Show Notes
South Carolina’s controversial school bathroom law is now in effect. It was slipped into the state budget and requires students to use bathrooms based on their biological sex.
A couple of months ago, lawmakers were working on this legislation in the South Carolina State House. At the same time, a Rock Hill School Board member created a bathroom policy for the district with the same wording.
The budget proviso is state law as of July 1, and other districts will have to follow in Rock Hill's footsteps to keep vital state funding.
