In Maine, public schools are now suspending students if they refuse to use transgender pronouns, raising alarms among parents and free speech advocates.
Under the new rules, students who “misuse” pronouns assigned to transgender students are considered harassing and can face disciplinary action, including suspension.
Critics argue this is an overreach by the left, punishing children for refusing to comply with ideologically-driven mandates rather than fostering real education.
Education experts warn this sets a dangerous precedent, infringing on freedom of speech and parental rights.
