PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Public Schools have enacted a nondiscrimination policy that outlines the rights, protections and support systems schools must provide for transgender students.

The city's school board unanimously approved the district policy on Wednesday, and officials called it the right thing to do for some of their "most vulnerable" children.

The line I love: "Under no circumstance should any student be required to use sex-segregated faculties that are inconsistent with their gender identity," according to the policy." Way to go Pittsburgh!
