The superintendent of Fargo Public Schools is formally addressing recent legislation concerning gender expression, gender identity, and other LGBTQ+ issues. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) recently signed a bill that allows public school teachers to ignore the pronouns of transgender students.
At a school board meeting on May 9, Superintendent Dr. Rupak Gandhi said that the adults in North Dakota and the legislative session have failed the children by putting politics over humanity. Dr. Gandhi presented facts reported by the Trevor Project, showing suicide is the second leading cause of death for children ages 10 to 24. He also reported LGBTQ+ youth are four times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers.
