Education Secretary Betsy DeVos will attend a roundtable on Thursday at a Pennsylvania Catholic school that subscribes to an anti-trans student policy
Harrisburg Catholic Elementary School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is slated to host the event, according to a department press release --- and is subject to the Diocese of Harrisburg's student policy on Gender Identity Questions. The policy characterizes gender-affirming surgery, an option for some transgender individuals, as"understood in Catholic moral terms as self-mutilation and therefore immoral.
In 2017, the Trump administration withdrew Obama-era protections for transgender students in public schools that let them use bathrooms and other facilities corresponding with their gender identity. DeVos originally opposed a draft of the Trump administration's plan for withdrawing the protections, sources told CNN at the time.
