Dear Editor:
After reading Steven Dow’s article in July 5’s Tribune about ‘taking the wokeness’ out of Wyoming education I was dismayed with how Brian Schroeder, our current Superintendent of Public Education, would do this.
While speaking at a candidates forum in Sheridan a few days earlier, and at the Freedom Celebration July 2, in Park County, he claimed his recent decision to withdraw Wyoming from the USDA’s federally funded lunch program was a result of a USDA requirement that all local agencies funded through the Food and Nutrition Services program must update their non discrimination policies to include “prohibitions against discriminations based on gender identity and sexual orientation.”
In fact this USDA update is only aimed at lunch programs that receive federal nutrition money, and nothing to do with transgender kids and bathrooms or transgender kids playing sports as Mr. Schroeder is implying. He would do away with $40 million for a federally funded lunch program because he is against updating with a LGBTQ non discrimination clause.
Mr. Schroeder, I find this cruel and inhumane treatment to possibly deny low-income LGBTQ kids a free lunch.
