Exactly.

First Amendment would keep that from being a form of harassment.

And you all were so sure that Youngkins policies had nothing to do with why teachers were leaving.

The man thinks this is Florida. He's started a literal war against teachers and the public schools.

I support this and I am a democrat.

And why would that be?

“ a major rollback of LGBTQ rights, the administration of Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) will require that transgender students in Virginia access school facilities and programs that match the sex they were assigned at birth and is making it more difficult for students to change their names and genders at school.
Under new “model policies” for schools’ treatment of transgender students released Friday evening, the Department of Education is requiring that families submit legal documentation to earn their children the right to change names and genders at school. The guidelines also say teachers cannot be compelled to refer to transgender students by their names and genders if it goes against “their constitutionally protected” free speech rights.
And the guidelines say schools cannot “encourage or instruct teachers to conceal material information about a student from the student’s parent, including information related to gender” — raising the prospect that teachers could be forced to out transgender students to their parents.
School districts must adopt the new state guidelines or “policies that are more comprehensive,” after a 30-day comment period that will begin on Sept. 26”

This is great. It puts it in the hands of the parents.

This is very politically popular with parents too, except the farthest left 25% of the political spectrum. See the polling on DeSantis' bill in Florida.

+1000

All for it.

Just know that this policy means trans males will be in their bathrooms and on their teams.

So? By definition, trans males are really women, so what's the problem with that?

Well, I can only assume that when someone looking like a boy walks out of the girls bathroom you’re going to find a reason to complain.

Nope. Wouldn't bother me a bit. And who is to say that this someone "looks like a boy?" Maybe she just looks like a girl with really short hair who is wearing boy's clothes?

First Amendment rights don't protect my ability to say whatever I want in the classroom. Once I start accepting a paycheck, and being paid to speak to children, I need to say certain things, and avoid saying certain things. For example I could be disciplined or fired for things like:

Calling kids derogatory names
Telling the kids answers to controlled tests
Teaching kids that 1 + 1 = 7 or that there wasn't really a Holocaust.

Sadly, if I taught in VA, Youngkin thinks I should be disciplined or fired for telling kids the truth about history.

This is not a first amendment situation.

Youngkin is a race-baiter. In Virginia, home of Brown vs Board of Education. Anyone who likes his “education initiatives” should be ashamed of themselves.

Um, Virginia is not the home of Brown v. Board of Education.

Wow. I didn’t realize that Richmond blocked Arlington from integrating back in 1956.

VA conservatives have a long history of being total POSs.

Bet you also didn’t know that Virginia had the only county in the US tk close its schools for 5 years instead of integrating.

VA has an extremely racist past. People don’t realize how “southern” VA really is 🤷‍♀️
