TL;DR Summary

North Dakota's governor has signed a bill into law that allows public school teachers and state government employees to ignore the pronouns their transgender students and colleagues use. The new law also requires teachers to tell a parent or legal guardian if the student is transgender and prohibits transgender students from using the appropriate bathroom without prior approval from a parent or guardian. The move has been criticized by opponents who say it violates the constitutional rights of students and teachers and is part of a larger push by Republican officials nationwide to roll back the rights of their LGBTQ+ constituents.
