I saw this coming a mile away but it’s different when it’s finally signed into law. What a backwards state and so close to my stomping grounds.

What a pity that the "GOP" has decided to pick on children allowing someone's phobia to remove another rights.

" …may submit a written request for reasonable accommodation, according to the law, although such accommodations will “not include access to a restroom, changing facility, or sleeping quarter” consistent with their gender identity."

 

How is this a "reasonable accommodation"?

 

"… will have a private cause of action to sue the school within four years."

 

"…Any student who prevails in an action brought under this chapter may recover from the defendant public school five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each instance that the student encountered a person of the opposite sex while…"

 

"Cisgender students may also recover additional monetary damages from the school related to “psychological, emotional, and physical harm suffered,” as well as attorney’s fees.

 

So for up to 4 yrs, someone can decide that they were offended in the past and sue the school.  I suppose the next step will be suing for merely seeing a trans-student.

 

Why don't they just outlaw us and be done with it?
