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.”

“Quisling”
(1) a Republican who gpes along with Democrats to get along with Democrats
(2) Vidkun Quisling
The bill would also prohibit government agencies from requiring employees to use a transgender colleague’s preferred pronoun.
“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.
So, it is okay for the heavy hand of state government (public school teachers are an arm of the government) to override the will of parents and to force its employees to use transgender pronouns.
Ditto!
Sex is determined [in the VAST majority of cases] at conception.
It’s established “Science”.
Insanity tends to arise later.
“Sex isn’t “assigned” at birth. It’s observed and noted.”
Indeed. But, that is not the point of my response to the Freeper that appeared to be confused as to what the governor’s Veto meant. Even after reading it 3 TIMES!
Maybe a MAJOR FREEPING of her office would show her where the conservative branch of the Republicans stand!!!!!!
How do you say “Purge by voting”? Get it on!
With his wife.
It’s the PARENTS who he is forcing to be the “pronoun police”, not the lowlife leftist teachers who indoctrinate with this evil to begin with. What an imbecile, who MUST be defeated. He is worse than a Democrat.
His wife looks like a lib and probably convinced him to side with the satanic Libby.
I’m not familiar with the family. Does the First Lady always dress like a whore?
It is NOT a fascinating phenomenon WE ARE VOTING for utter LIARS who will say whatever it takes to get elected THEN the bastards have name recognition and we can’t get rid of the bastards!! WE ALL have to do better, during the RNC election for Ronna Charlie Kirk went to the event to back Karmit Dillion he was STUNNED at the way he was treated by these bastard GOPe electors, they did NOT CARE what the hell the voters wanted it was THEIR decision!! WE ALL have to rid ourselves of these SOB’s WE ALL have to really dig in and educate ourselves about WHO these RINO’s REALLY ARE before voting for them!! PLEASE realize just because there is an R next to the name doesn’t mean a damn thing!! DO NOT believe what comes out of their mouths LOOK at who is giving money to them WHO is surrounding them and vote accordingly!! MANY, MANY precinct people AND electors NEED TO GO!! PLEASE get out and become a precinct person!! I became a precinct person AND I am in CA. the land of fruit and nuts, VERY LITTLE time is involved however you honestly are MORE involved with the power structure and how it actually works, WHO the R traitors are in the community and work to get rid of them!!
I'm hearing this phrase more and more and it's infuriating. As if doctors and parents have been forever arbitrarily "assigning" sex based on nothing more than ignorance and prejudice.
That’s a murder suicide waiting to happen.
Looks like she shops at “Dr. Jill’s” thrift store.
He looks happy.
Not only do conservatives have to battle psycho democrats, but also libtard republicans!!
Sheesh. So tiresome these republiPUKES!!!
That’s absurd you should be ashamed of yourself

This is what a collapsing/collapsed nation looks like. Vomit-worthy.
