WESTMINSTER, Calif. ?-?What is the difference between sex and gender?
That is what one Southern California school district is trying to decide and the outcome could cost it millions.
So far the?Westminster School District is the only district in California refusing to adopt an updated anti-discrimination policy that adds the word “sex” to guidelines that already include the word “gender.”
“We could lose all state and federal funding,” said Jim Reed, president of the Westminster school board. “Which in our case amounts to 40 million dollars.”
Some board members oppose the change because it would also broaden the definition of “gender” to include a person’s “perceived sex.”
