PARENTS DEFENDING EDUCATION--APPEALS COURT SIDES SWITH PARENT GROUP IN FIGHT OVER OHIO SCHOOL DISTRICT'S PRONOUN POLICY

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A divided federal appeals court in Ohio ruled against the state's fourth largest school district on Thursday in a case that pitted its gender pronoun policies against the rights of students who believe there are only two genders.

The full Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the suburban Olentangy Local School District cannot prohibit students from using gender-related language deemed offensive by others, siding with Parents Defending Education, which had argued the policies were unconstitutional.  MORE AT Appeals court sides with parent group in fight over Ohio school district’s pronoun policy

GETTING CAUGHT UP---ICYMI---MORE FROM THE EVERYTHING CROTON MAILBOX--FOUR ITEMS

A reader recalled an interview with one of Croton's most notable residents: George Biddle--but couldn't find it---here you go--from 1963: BIDDLE ORAL HISTORY.....

Biddle was an American painter, muralist and lithographer, best known for his social realism and combat art. A childhood friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, he played a major role in establishing the Federal Art Project (1935–43), which employed artists under the Works Progress Administration. HEAR THE INTERVIEW AT
