Teachers

Two middle school teachers in California filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against the school district and the California State Board of Education over policies they say required them to lie to parents about their children's gender identity.

The school district does not have an opt-out policy for the material.

California lawmakers are considering a bill, AB 1314, which would require schools to notify parents within three days if their child requests to be referred to by a name typically associated with the opposite gender or uses a bathroom or locker room designated for the opposite sex.

The United Kingdom’s largest teacher’s union said this week that schools across the nation should welcome drag queens and host more LGBT events.

Last Thursday, Representatives Justin Jones, Justin J. Pearson, and Gloria Johnson chanted "No action, no peace" on the House floor during legislative proceedings, forcing them to halt.

“I deserve to know what’s happening to my child — the secrecy needs to stop," the mother said.

Progressive Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson defeated his opponent, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, in Chicago's mayoral race Tuesday.

"You're just screaming at me," Massie told Rep. Jamaal Bowman.

Kentucky GOP lawmakers have successfully overturned the Democratic governor's veto of a bill that prohibits gender-related medical treatments, restricts transgender children's bathroom use and prevents schools from discussing gender identity or sexual orientation with students, with doctors required to provide a timeline for "detransitioning" for children already taking hormone therapy or puberty blockers.

The officers who took down the transgender attacker responsible for the deadly shooting in Nashville Monday have been identified.
