Bill Signed Restricting Transgender Students Bathroom Use in Public Schools
March 22, 2023 | Arkansas
On Tuesday, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed legislation prohibiting transgender people at public schools from using the restroom that uses their gender identity.
The legislation, which goes into effect on April 7th, applies to locker rooms and multi-person restrooms for students in kindergarten through 12th grade in public and charter schools in the state.
Governor Huckabee’s spokesperson Alexa Henning told The Associated Press, “The Governor has said she will sign laws that focus on protecting and educating our kids, not indoctrinating them and believes our schools are no place for the radical left’s woke agenda. Arkansas isn’t going to rewrite the rules of biology just to please a handful of far-left advocates.” (Excerpt from The Gateway Pundit.)
