Guidelines Created Without Input From Public and Parents, Crowd Tells FWISD Board

FT. WORTH (WBAP/KLIF News) – Many people at a hearing in Fort Worth say they don’t like being left out of the decision-making process.

At a public hearing at Dunbar High School on restroom guidelines for transgendered students, many of those commenting said they felt like the guidelines had been created without any input from the public.
