North Carolina Ends Deadnaming of Students on Report Cards, Documents
The News & Observer of Raleigh, "There is no downside to this other than showing respect for students."While most North Carolina school documents will reflect a student's chosen name, official state student transcripts will still list birth names, at least for now. Since Republican Gov. Pat McCrory signed North Carolina's notorious "bathroom bill" into law in 2016 — which forced trans people to use public restrooms (in government buildings) that conflict with their gender identity — and banned local jurisdictions from passing pro-LGBTQ+ laws, the state has evolved on queer rights.
