Anti-trans legislation is inhumane

Thus far in 2021, more than 20 states have introduced legislation that penalizes transgender athletes for participating in school sports if they play on a team that aligns with their gender identity. A bill recently presented in Minnesota is the first to propose criminal penalties for such young people.
Specifically, a transgender girl (which the bill disparagingly refers to as male, a definition simplistically defined by the presence of an X and Y chromosome) would be guilty of a petty misdemeanor if she tries out for a girls team. Transgender girls who use girls locker rooms would be guilty of a misdemeanor.
Editor s note:
CVUSD Superintendent Mark McLaughlin clarified a previous comment, and said intensive school based therapists are employees directly contracted and paid for by the district on an annual basis.
The union representing school counselors in Conejo Valley Unified School District filed an unfair practice charge with the state over the district s handling of their responsibilities.
The Conejo Valley Pupil Personnel Association filed the charge on Feb. 24 with the California Public Employment Relations Board. A statement Monday from the union said the charge stems from the district shifting counselors duties to include work previously done by a separate group of workers.
Legislative Digest
HB1919:
This House bill would guarantee “counseling and guidance services” to all public school students and create a minimum student-to-counselor ratio of 250-to-1.
Counseling services are an essential part of any school. Students with these services score higher on standardized tests and are more likely to succeed later in life. Counselors also provide invaluable help to high school students through the college admissions process, a particularly complex ordeal.
To deprive children of adequate guidance services is to take away a key component of what public school aims to do in the first place. Children are less able to apply themselves and enter adult life without the guidance of a counselor. Unsurprisingly, private schools generally have more counselors per student than public schools. The advantage this brings to the private school students from wealthier families perpetuates wealth disparities.
