North Dakota's Republican governor vetoed a bill that would generally prohibit public schools teachers and staff from referring to transgender students by pronouns other than those reflecting the sex assigned to them at birth.
Gov. Doug Burgum's veto on Thursday could be reversed by the state Legislature. If it became law, public school teachers and employees would be barred from using a transgender student's preferred pronoun unless they have permission from the student's parents as well as a school administrator.
The bill would also prohibit government agencies from requiring employees to use a transgender colleague’s preferred pronoun.
The proposal comes as Republican lawmakers across the U.S. have drafted hundreds of laws this year to push back on LGBTQ+ freedoms, particularly seeking to regulate aspects of transgender people's lives, including gender-affirming health care, bathroom use, athletics and drag performances.
Although the bill also addresses state employees, Burgum’s veto message focused on its potential impact on public schools.
“The teaching profession is challenging enough without the heavy hand of state government forcing teachers to take on the role of pronoun police,” Burgum said in a letter to state Senate leaders. “Parents, teachers and administrators using compassion, empathy and common sense can address individual and infrequent situations that may arise.”

I had to read it 3 times-—
I THINK he is saying-—the pronouns to be used are the ONES AT BIRTH
I thought it was me. I don’t get what happened.
I read it as saying the veto is meant to cave to the tranny lunatics.
So it is okay if a teacher reinforces a child’s delusions.
Not very conducive to mental health.
I just read it once & it looked like he vetoed the bill that would require pronouns match birth gender
Noem protected the degenerates again. She now has a clear track record of doing so.
Ack…never mind. I read “South Dakota” when it was North Dakota.
No...not her.
This is the RINO governor in North Dakota Doug Burgum. He imposed a mask order during COVID with Deborah Birx pushing it.
North Dakota Republicans were for the Chinese owned corn milling plant in Grand Forks before they were against it.
Chamber of Commerce moderates Globalists all the way.
YES the state legislators now will have to overturn this RINO’s veto!!! Folks we have FAR TO MANY weak kneed republicans in office WE REALLY NEED to get this fixed in our states!!
The following is the first sentence of the article:
North Dakota’s Republican governor vetoed a bill that would generally prohibit public school teachers and staff from referring to transgender students by pronouns other than those reflecting the sex assigned to them at birth.
This makes it perfectly clear that this so-called “Republican” governor is a RINO Liberal who deceived the voters claiming to be a conservative republican. This deception has become a Common Tactic among Leftists in the Red States.
These people think time is on the side of weirdos. Standing up to them would do no good so they go along, no wanting to be called homophobic. Bathroom issues are ‘details’.
Gov. Doug Burgum sounds queer.
“I read it as saying the veto is meant to cave to the tranny lunatics.”
That’s exactly what it is. Governor rino gave the trannies the license to set the rules. He’s a coward he saw the creeps raising hell and caved because that seemed easier than fighting to save thousands of years of western culture. Pray they can override but seems unlikely they can get enough people with courage to stand up
I agree....basically says....you can refer to the person by their chromosome...male or female...no switch a roo.
Don’t feed the attention seekers which many of these trans people are. Teachers should just use surnames in class. That way, the teachers control the dialogue and don’t fall victim to the pronoun “look at me, I’m special, a victim, and an oppressor” game.
“Ack…never mind. I read “South Dakota” when it was North Dakota.”
Yep, she’s better than the ND Governor, as she would have it quashed long before it got to her desk.
YES the state legislators now will have to overturn this RINO’s veto!!! Folks we have FAR TO MANY weak kneed republicans in office WE REALLY NEED to get this fixed in our states!!

I live in a blue state(Oregon) and take a lot of crap from cocky red state conservatives.
What is hilarious is the same negative left wing ideologies also “own” many red state politicians.
Also, red states have the same liberal media, urban areas, educational institutions , public employees, woke corporations, & entertainment sectors as blue states.
“It’s a fascinating phenomenon.”
