The legislation would require elementary and middle schools that receive federal funds to forcibly out trans students if they wish to alter their gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name. This also encompasses which school facilities they are permitted to use, such as bathrooms and locker rooms.
Just a week after a deadly school shooting, Republicans on the Education and the Workforce Committee decided that, instead of working to protect kids, their time would be best spent attacking the ones they don't like-trans kids. It's outrageous.
While many young trans people have loving and accepting families, some do not. By forcing teachers and administrators who want to take certain steps to affirm trans students to out those students instead, MAGA Republicans are endangering the safety and wellbeing of students whose families may not accept them, all to score some cheap political points.
