Two Ohio House Republicans have introduced the “Affirming Families First Act,” which would state that referring to and raising a child in line with the child’s biological sex—such as using a child’s given name and sex-based pronouns—cannot, by itself, be treated as abuse, neglect, or contrary to a child’s best interests in certain custody-related decisions.
A newly elected school board member in Maine confronted his colleagues over a policy that could suspend students for intentionally using incorrect pronouns. Josh Tabor raised concerns about biological facts conflicting with gender identity rules during a heated exchange. The discussion, captured in a viral video, highlighted tensions over harassment definitions in schools.

A U.S. District Court judge has issued a permanent injunction against California's policy requiring teachers to conceal students' gender transitions from parents. The ruling, from Judge Roger T. Benitez, stems from a class-action lawsuit filed by two Christian teachers. It affirms parents' and teachers' constitutional rights to share and receive information on students' gender identity.
