A Minnesota Carter school is adopting a far-reaching inclusion policy after facing a lawsuit over its treatment of a kindergarten student who identifies as transgender. In an effort to end a 16-month legal battle, Nova Classical Academy agreed to a settlement with the child’s parents. The school agreed to make minor changes and revisions to its gender inclusion policy, which was implemented in May of 2016.
