For the Norwood City School District in Ohio, a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” environment is key to undermining state laws barring biological males from entering and using female facilities or playing on their sports teams.
“You know, there’s a weird kind of culture where it’s almost like a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’” District secretary Kelly Cornelius revealed on hidden camera. “It’s not really so many eyes watching, but Norwood is pretty accepting.”
According to Cornelius, she’d have no problem enrolling a biological male with doctored female paperwork to use girls’ locker rooms and restrooms as well.
“She’s female on the birth certificate,” Cornelius told an Accuracy in Media investigator.
The secretary shrugged several times to indicate her indifference to the idea of a male student who had “officially changed” his birth certificate gender to female before enrolling.
“Yeah, whatever you give them, the official birth certificate is the official birth certificate,” she reiterated.
And most teachers wouldn’t question it, the secretary added.
Ohio passed a law in 2024 banning people born male from participating in female sports at the K-12 and college levels.
The state has also passed laws requiring students to use the locker rooms and restrooms corresponding to their biological sex at birth.
Despite these legislative accomplishments, school officials in Ohio are actively looking for ways to both ignore and undermine the policies put in place to protect students.
But Accuracy in Media is holding woke administrators accountable for these acts of defiance.
