At Frisco ISD's school board meeting Monday night, trustees unanimously passed a new bathroom policy.
It requires students to use bathrooms that align with their biological sex, to the extent permitted by law. It doesn't prohibit the district from providing reasonable accommodations, like a private bathroom, upon request."They need to be able to just use the bathroom," parent Ellie Patel said."They don't need to be shuffled off to a separate one-person stall. I am just for everyone to have equal rights and I don't think separate but equal is good enough.
Several civil rights organizations including the ACLU Texas and the Human Rights Campaign have sent a letter to Frisco ISD, saying in part: "I myself have been through a similar situation going through high school, even college, and sadly it affected my mental health," Stacey Monroe said."It led me to attempt suicide."
