A new Clark County Today poll asks readers who should have the primary role when schools face decisions involving a student’s gender identity
A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling addressing parental rights in education has become part of an ongoing dispute between the La Center School District and the Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction over the district’s gender pronoun policy. In his column, Clark County Today Editor Ken Vance writes that the Court’s opinion reinforces the principle that parents hold primary authority over decisions affecting their children’s upbringing and well-being. With the case still unfolding, Clark County Today is asking readers where they believe that responsibility should lie when issues of gender identity arise at school.
