Public school teachers in North Dakota would be allowed to ignore the pronouns their transgender students use, under a bill that state Senate lawmakers passed Thursday with a veto-proof majority.
The bill would also allow employees of government entities to ignore the pronouns their transgender colleagues use. And, it would further prohibit transgender public school students from using the bathroom of their choice, unless they have approval from a parent or legal guardian. Additionally, teachers would be required to tell a student's parent or guardian if the student identifies as transgender.
