Prohibits public school teachers from using or encouraging non-birth pronouns, discussing transgender topics, facilitating social transition, or connecting students to LGBTQ organizations, so less recognition and support for transgender students in schools.
A teacher employed by a school district may not: (1) promote or encourage a student's use of gender pronouns other than the pronouns for the student's gender;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new Education Code section that bars public school teachers from a list of actions supporting or discussing a student's gender transition or transgender identity, with penalties including termination, license revocation, and civil liability. This directly addresses transgender/education by restricting school recognition of and support for transgender students. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
