The bill, if passed, would also ban accommodations for transgender students, including a teacher’s use of a student’s “preferred gender pronoun, if the perceived or expressed gender is inconsistent with the student’s” sex assigned at birth. Schools found to be in violation of the policy could be fined up to $500,000 in damages, the bill states.

Ah, there it is. The REAL story. >

Modern republicans would have sided with the Nazis >

Modern? You're saying that like they were any better at some point >

You've gotta go 150+ years back but they had their moments. In that time conservatism has gone from 'maintain status quo' to 'avoid forward thinking' to 'avoid thinking'. >

Last I checked, the status quo 150 years ago was pretty shitty for a lot of people, and it still is. >

Good thing this was never a problem >

Bill distracts from real civic and social and economic problems like guns, inflation, debt, healthcare system, housing, etc, so exactly perfect bill to propose >

Hell the human portion is distracting from the bill also banning teachers accommodating transgender students. >

Educational opportunities are quickly diminishing for poor Glorback the Soulshatterer.  This "North Dakota" may have turned him back now, but one day he will return with his Orcish hordes and drink brandy from your very skulls! >

They penalize the school, already short on money, for treating students like humans.   Jesus, at that point, I’d identify as other than human myself! >

Of course this is related to trans people. What is with the sudden hate towards trans people in America? Last I saw every politician who ran on anti-trans platform lost in the midterms? Have they not learnt? >

Sudden?
Pretty sure a country founded by psychotic Puritans who were booted out of their original countries was never going to create an accepting or kind society... >

Yeah sudden is definitely the wrong word, but it seems like really out now >

They're working their way through the disadvantaged.  They lost the battle of hating on gays, so they've moved on to the next group.  They'll lose this battle eventually too, you can't stop progress.
The question is, who comes next? >

In just the first few weeks of the year, state lawmakers across the U.S. have introduced over 140 bills targeting LGBTQ rights and queer life, according to an NBC News analysis, with the majority of these bills focusing on transgender young people.

That's the actual point of the bill. Don't get distracted by the nonsensical "litter box" lie. >

"Do you identify as human? No, I am a meat popsicle." >

"They're made out of meat."
"Meat?"
"Meat. They're made out of meat."
"Meat?"
"There's no doubt about it. We picked several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." >

This is because of the false narrative conservatives have been pushing that it's some common thing to identify as an animal. They do this especially in association with trans people because they want to use it to discredit and be able to further legalislate against trans people >

The irony. Welp, makes sense why they wouldn't want people to focus on the ACTUAL horrific reason why they are there. >

Republicans once again boldly solving problems that don’t exist. >

I was wondering if this was that stupid "schools are letting kids go to the bathroom in litter boxes" thing again.  Yes, it is.

This section of the bill appears to be connected to an urban myth about litter boxes in U.S. schools that spread among conservative Republicans ahead of the November election. An NBC News report published in October found this myth — about schools providing accommodations, like litter boxes, for children who identify as cats — to be untrue.

I'm sure this won't be the last time, but this doesn't happen. The closest we get to this is when schools keep buckets of kitty litter around. It's primarily used to clean up spills, but teachers have also considered using it for when they are doing long lockdown drills and their kids can't hold in needing to go to the bathroom.
In this case, the problem isn't "kids are identifying as cats," but instead the problem is "schools are trying to prepare for school shootings by having lockdown drills, but they last so long that kids are spoiling themselves." The issue here isn't the kitty litter, but the fact that we can't seem to "solve" school shootings except by "just hide and hope the shooter doesn't see you when they inevitably come by." >

Let me guess, they fell for the "kitty litter trays" in school hoax? >


"Yes we have people who would like to claim themselves as animals such as cats and dogs," VanWinkle wrote in an email.

No, you don't. >

After seeing these people's hysteric reaction, if they don't already, they probably will.
Kids will claim they're all kinds of shit to stuck up conservatives just to make their heads explode.  That is 100% something I would have done if I got the chance. >

Hell I'd do it and I'm a grown man. >
