A Catholic school system in Massachusetts under the Diocese of Worcester is asking students to behave in accordance with their sex, including while using pronouns and names.

โ€œAll students are expected to conduct themselves at school in a manner consistent with their biological sex,โ€ the Diocese said in an Aug. 15 announcement. โ€œSchool practice shall consider the gender of all students as being consistent with their biological sex, including, but not limited to, the following: participation in school athletics; school-sponsored dances; dress and uniform policies; the use of changing facilities, showers, locker rooms, and bathrooms; titles, names, and pronouns; and official school documents.โ€

Official documents, including school records, transcripts, and diplomas shall reflect the studentโ€™s biological sex as determined at the time of their birth and enrollment.

The new policy prohibits students from engaging in advocacy, celebration, or expression of same-sex attraction in ways that cause โ€œconfusion or distractionโ€ to the function of the school like classes, events, and other activities.

It also prohibits bullying, harassment, threats, or acts of violence against students on the basis of their perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.

โ€œWhile some schools had policies in place, others did not. Individual situations were arising which underscored a need for a single policy which clearly states Church teaching and provides consistent application of that teaching across all our schools,โ€ said David Perda, superintendent of Catholic Schools for the diocese.

The new policy, titled โ€œCatholic Education and the Human Person,โ€ was approved by Bishop Robert McManus in late June and was sent to all Catholic schools to include them in school handbooks this fall. The Diocese is located roughly 45 miles west of Boston.
