Billy Boniface has issued the following statement regarding Harford Glen:
“Like most of you, I’m appalled by the news that overnight accommodations at Harford Glen are apparently being assigned not by biological sex but by “gender identity” (whatever that is). Although I wasn’t asked where I stand by the group that is circulating this info, I feel like this is an important issue and you need to know.
In short, this is crazy.
I can’t believe it even needs to be said, but teenage boys should not be allowed to bunk with elementary school girls. The school system has a duty to protect our kids, and the fact that parents have been kept in the dark about this policy is infuriating. Harford Glen is an incredible asset to the county and provides invaluable educational opportunities. But until this is changed, the county should withhold funding.
One of the most important jobs of the County Council is to provide oversight in how our tax dollars are spent. As Council President I will only support nominees who represent our values to be Board of Ed members or to serve as the council’s official liaison to HCPS.”
