In North Dakota, a bill that Gov. Doug Burgum (R) signed into law on Monday effectively bans public schools from adopting policies requiring staff to use a trans student’s pronouns. It took effect immediately, according to the Associated Press.
Teachers there must now inform parents or guardians if students identify as transgender and must obtain their approval before allowing the students to use the bathroom of their choice. The law also bans government entities from requiring people to respect an individual’s preferred pronouns.
Burgum said in a statement that the new law “largely codifies existing practices while reaffirming the First Amendment right to free speech … balancing the rights and interests of students, parents and teachers.”But the American Civil Liberties Union of North Dakota decried the restrictions, with advocacy manager Cody Schuler saying the “mandatory outing of a student’s trans identity violates their privacy rights at school — particularly for trans youth who cannot be safe at home.
The governor also signed two other bills defining gender as the sex at birth and banning changes to sex on birth records in most cases. Those statutes will take effect in August.
