Irishmegaphone – The state of Virginia is being sued by two transgender students who say the state’s public school guidance breaks a law from the Education Department. Last year, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) introduced a guidance that mandates transgender students to use the restroom based on their assigned sex at birth. Furthermore, it permits teachers to refrain from using the preferred pronouns or names of students unless approved by their parents. These lawsuits argue that the guidance contradicts the 2020 law passed by former Gov. Ralph Northam, which obligated the Education Department to implement policies ensuring the prevention of discrimination and harassment against transgender students.
