Ohio’s most populous city will no longer let males use girls’ bathrooms in its public schools.
Columbus, the state capital with more than 900,000 people and public schools serving over 46,000 students at 113 schools, rescinded its pro-transgender bathroom policy Tuesday to comply with a new Ohio law that goes into effect Feb. 25.
“The district remains committed to ensuring each student is empowered for success as a citizen in a global community while also following the law,” school board President Michael Cole told Cleveland.com.
The vote came after state Attorney General Dave Yost sent a letter promising swift legal action if the district chose to ignore the law.
