Skokie Public Library Trustee Michelle Mallari attended a recent webinar the Daily Mail said shared tips on “subversively and quietly” encouraging students to cross dress.
“Dozens of Midwestern teachers met online this week and traded tips on helping trans students change gender at school without their parents' knowledge, while criticizing a raft of new Republican laws on sex and identity,” reported the Daily Mail. “In the four-hour workshop, they discussed helping trans students in the face of new laws in Republican-run states on gender, pronouns, names, parents' rights, bathroom access, and sports teams.”
“Some teachers said they followed the rules, but others discussed being 'subversive,' how their personal 'code of ethics' trumped laws, and how to 'hide' a trans student's new name and gender from their parents,” said the report.
The webinar was hosted by the Great Lakes Equity Center, which says it is funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
Mallari has been a Skokie Library Trustee since 2021, and is also a Deputy Voting Registrar in Cook County, according to her LinkedIn profile.
She works as the assistant principal at the Woodland Intermediate School in the Gurnee, which is in the Woodland Consolidated Public School District 50. Administrators in that district earn an average of $117,788 per year, according to a 2021 Lake County Gazette analysis.
Mallari was one of three Woodland School District employees to attend the webinar.
