Republican Bill Would Imprison Teachers Who Support Trans Students
attacks over other groups.Gragg's bill would criminalize teachers who provide support, whether it be material, information or resources, for a transgender student's social transition.It defines social transition as "the process by which an individual adopts the name, pronouns, and gender expression, such as clothing or haircuts, that match the individual's gender identity and not the gender assumed by the individual's sex at birth."Gragg wrote in a statement to Newsweek on Sunday that the bill was filed to "protect kids, families, and teachers.""Education begins at home, and it's time for the few liberal activists who've infiltrated the education system to stop interfering in the relationships between parents and their children. We need to make sure our teachers, those who spend their lives helping our children grow and prepare for the world, can focus on teaching.
