Teachers in North Dakota can still refer to transgender students by the personal pronouns they use, after lawmakers failed to override the governor’s veto of a controversial bill to place restrictions on educators
FILE - North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum speaks at the state Capitol on April 10, 2020, in Bismarck, N.D. Teachers in North Dakota can still refer to transgender students by the personal pronouns they use, after lawmakers on Monday, April 3, 2023, failed to override the governor’s veto of a controversial bill to place restrictions on educators.
The bill would have prohibited public school teachers and employees from acknowledging the personal pronouns a transgender student uses, unless they received permission from the student’s parents as well as a school administrator. Republican lawmakers across the U.S. have drafted hundreds of laws this year to push back on LGBTQ+ freedoms, particularly seeking to regulate aspects of transgender people’s lives, including gender-affirming health care, bathroom use, athletics and drag performances.
Lawmakers who supported the bill have said in debates that it would free teachers from worrying about how to address each student and create a better learning environment.
