The Report contacted Ruth Ray, O’Hare’s chief of staff, with a list of questions asking what motivated the county judge to request that the application be rescinded and to clarify what procedures or policies the application violated. In response, Ray provided a written statement without answering specific questions.

As the vast majority of our nation agrees, transgenderism should not be pushed on our children.”
