While DeVos’ visit most immediately involved the the future of the tax credit, it also made a statement about the treatment of transgender students in school, according to education experts.first reported, Harrisburg Catholic Elementary School has a straightforward policy against transgender students and staff, likening them to those who commit “self-mutilation.”
The school did not respond to NBC News’ request for comment about the policy and whether it pertains to students who present differently from the gender they were assigned at birth but do not undergo transition-related surgery. The Department of Education wouldn’t address questions about the school’s anti-trans policy either, instead opting to provide information about the roundtable.
“It’s difficult to say whether this decision was one of sheer incompetence, but given DeVos’ track record to direct funds to schools that discrimination, it appears a deliberate decision to champion a school with an anti-trans policy,” Byard told NBC News.
