Bob Chiaradio Challenges Smithfield, RI School Committee To Change Their Transgender Policy To A Parental Rights First

Bob recently attended a Smithfield, RI school committee workshop where public comment was planned after the open discussion of their transgender policies by panel members.

Bob points out that it is the school department’s obligation to report to the parents or legal guardians should a minor child seek to transition and contacts a school official in their capacity as custodians of their child.

He points out that schools are not either mental health or qualified clinicians to determine the correct course for any child seeking to transition as this is solely the decision of the parents or legal guardians.

Bob insists the current transgender policy is unjust and unfair and does not serve the best interest of any child.
