A civil rights battle with transgender kids caught in the middle.

In recent years, state legislatures in the US have introduced hundreds of bills targeting the rights of LGBTQ Americans. Many of those laws are focused in particular on the rights of transgender school children in public schools: what types of bathrooms they can use, whether their pronouns will be used, and whether they can participate in school sports. These laws are increasingly common in Republican-controlled states. Also, they may be violations of federal law.
This puts public schools in these states in a strange position: do they follow state laws that, under the Biden administration, could open them up to a federal civil rights investigation? Or do they ignore state law, and risk the state cutting their funding? Amid all that uncertainty, those who suffer most are the trans children caught up in the fight.
This video focuses on how that battle is playing out in Tennessee, the state that has introduced more anti-LGBTQ laws in 2022 than almost any other state. We looked at two of the laws that target transgender public school kids: one about bathrooms and one about participation in school sports. Those two issues have very different legal contexts, which you can read more about in the links below.

A lot of school issues are talked about but the one thing people of all political views can agree on is schools are failing. Schools are failing to protect kids from bullying and failing to inspirre them and give them purpose, as a highschool student, whose been bullied I know how hard those situations can be on a student, when you combine that with constant streams of negative news and current events, things can seem hopeless, especially when schools are overpacked and underfunded. This means the few teachers who are genuinely still passionate and trying their best to help kids learn and grow are overworked and are bound to the curriculum which isn't inspiring and teaching kids or helping them push their boundaries. Really there is an issue with the entire school system which needs a complete systematic overhaul. This will likely never happen because politicians and political activists (now everyone and their mom) are too busy, pointing fingers and arguing about which bathrooms 2% of students use for them to take a second to address and try to solve any of the huge issues that face every child in the nation enrolled in public school. I mean this is the big problem every one is talking about when it only accounts for 0.004% of total attempted suicides. The sad thing is that politicians on both sides use arguments like these to shift blame and claim moral high ground, just to avoid the responsability to take action, and work together to actually solve problems, and it works. (I'm not saying these issues don't matter but they shouldn't be the priority especally because they're just specific examples of a greater issue not being seen by adults)

Students don't take surveys seriously, like at all. American high school students are already bombarded with plenty of stressful assignments and deadlines to meet. I graduated a few months ago and even the most thoughtful and wise students clearly rushed the survey, answering randomly, because it just didn't pertain to them and they had assignments they had to get done. Students are educated, however a lot of them really just don't care because it doesn't affect them. Also, kids don't come home and complain to their parents anymore, they come home and complain to their friends at school on social media, which tends to perpetuate more of a hostile environment even out of school.

@HiAdrian 2 жыл бұрын

That's a good point. If the school kids themselves don't care, then their (adult) environment shouldn't make such a ruckus, especially if it eats community resources that could be used for other things.

@@HiAdrian I should rephrase that, I'm not sure it's that they all don't care, (don't get me wrong, there are definitely some students who truly do not care) I think a lot of them understand what the ruckus is, however it is not nearly as high on their priority list compared to other things they might be dealing with at home, school, or even work.

The best thing we could do is ask what students of schools want, not what some random board that none of us will ever hear about thinks. I’m sick of my education being directed by some far off entity with little to no direct interaction with us as a whole. I’m fed up with the schools acting like they own the students and not listening to their ideas, beliefs, aspirations, and dreams. The only power we get is student council, or should I call it “student party planner”. We have no choice of what we get to do, no ability to direct our future, and no influence in our own politics. So here’s what I’ve to say: “NO EDUCATION WITHOUT REFORMATION”.

They might not identify as a man or women but they can’t be anything they wish. This is reality.

Also lifelong medicines that produce artificial changes and have many health risks/adverse side effects.

This video did not really talk about how such laws are allowed to pass. It was a surface level analysis of the symptom, not the cause. When you have a party that is this openly fashist, it is your duty as someone reporting on the impact of their actions to call that out. You cannot have balanced reporting when one side does not operate on the same playingfield as the other.

What sane person is going to transition just to go into the women’s bathrooms, literally anyone can walk into a bathroom what’s stopping someone that’s man from going into the women’s bathroom? Nothing. Trans women just want to use the bathroom.

How is it legal to make a law that is federally illegal? Shouldn’t the people who made it and enforce it be jailed for breaking the law? (Do not reply)

It is for the same reason that weed is legal in California and Oregon, and CBD oil is legal in Indiana. Despite the fact that it's illegal federally (even federal employees with permanent residence in those states cannot legally consume THC/CBD, due to the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA)), it is legal for the ordinary citizen to do so. This is because the federal government grants states rights in most cases, and does not interfere because they don't want to get into any unnecessary disputes with the state governments. This is part of the federated, anti-unitary government of the United States.

I'm assuming all this is in American schools. Here in the UK, if you say you don't support trans you are sent to the principles office. My brother in law's brother had this happen at his school. The teacher asked everyone who supported trans and my brother in law's brother and his friend said no. Both sent to the principles office to be "educated" on how their opinion was wrong....

Vox could feature the many forms of *gatekeeping* Americans live under every day. That might stretch to a series - about our *caste system* and how the structure's methods and traditions serve to maintain this power structure and minimize, limit, and exclude many groups like the LGBTQA community. For example, Vox could explore how education availability, quality, and *safety* variances at all levels, and how even entry level job listings began demanding both college degrees and previous experience, all function as forms of gatekeeping. Resulting costs (of all kinds) to our overall well-being as a nation should be included in addition to the fiscal totals.
