Letter: Kapoor calls transgender policy vote 'cowardly,' 'shameful'

By Letter to the Editor | June 20, 2022

Editor’s Note: The following is a letter from Nick Kapoor, a member of the Monroe Board of Education. To the Editor,
After nearly a year of waiting for the Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Policy to be voted on, the Board of Education majority took the most cowardly and shameful route by voting it down without a word of discussion. The transphobia, xenophobia, and “don’t say gay” mentality that has gripped the national Republican Party for some time was beyond evident at the June 6th Board meeting. Isn’t it the responsibility of elected officials to explain their votes? Would we expect our Congressman or Senators to take a vote and not answer questions about it?
