The Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin, has updated its education manual, prohibiting students and staff in diocesan schools from adopting gender pronouns, using bathrooms, and wearing the uniform of the opposite sex.
The updated “General Policy Concerning Gender Identity,” which took effect on July 1, instructs members of “all parishes, schools, and school systems, or other entities” within the Diocese of Green Bay to “respect the biological sex with which a person is born,” requiring diocesan schools to apply the new policy on “gender identity and procedures relating to that person according to that person’s biological sex at birth.”
