Each school year, more Massachusetts public school students are identifying as non-binary.
Since the start of the 2019-2020 school year, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's public school enrollment data has broken down gender into three categories: male, female, and non-binary. In this instance, "non-binary" is an umbrella term used for anyone who identifies as a gender other than male and female.
Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson appears to have remained silent during her oath of office on Monday, January 1. After a video circulated on X (formerly Twitter) of the inauguration, council president Ruthzee Louijeune and the city's law department are asking her to take it again.
After the video made the rounds, Fernandes Anderson posted a statement to the site, according to Boston.com, calling it a "non incident" and "anti-immigrant racist vitriol." She appears to have since deleted her account.
