Federal judge rules Florida’s pronoun law for teachers is unconstitutional
Fox35 ^

Posted on 08/16/2025 2:05:33 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The Brief:

-A federal judge ruled Florida’s restrictions on transgender teachers’ pronouns violate civil-rights law.

-The case is on hold while a Georgia appeal on similar issues is pending.

-The outcome could shape workplace protections for transgender employees across the Southeast.

A federal judge in Florida has ruled that the state’s law requiring teachers to use pronouns that match a student’s sex at birth amounts to discrimination, conflicting with federal protections against employment discrimination based on sex.

SNIP

What we don't know:

While Walker declared the law discriminatory, he stopped short of issuing an injunction or awarding damages. The future of the case now depends on how the full 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules in a separate Georgia case, Lange v. Houston County, which could determine whether transgender employees are protected under Title VII in similar circumstances.

Again the judges are lined up on one side and the good, patriotic pro-USA, tough on crime people are on the other.

How long can this undermining by the judges be tolerated?

Yhen any law requiring a person to use a preferred pronoun is equally illegal. This cuts both ways.

Sad to say, but these judges need to be hauled before the court of last resort. Its verdict is always final, a decision from which there is no appeal.

The American people won't do a thing to the judges. So, they'll continue with their activist rulings unabated.

Judge Walker gets overturned often.

Isn’t forcing me to lie and use pronouns I know to be incorrect also a violation of my first amendment rights?

THE central issue, much more important than boys playing against girls, even more important than the medical experiments, is forced lying in front of your own children.

If that is required by law, it’s really the end of everything.

"Sex" is a biological reality, not a person's misguided gender identity.

For as long as Congress lacks the political courage to impeach them.

Which is to say, bad rulings can be appealed and overturned, but the judge will not be removed unless impeached by Congress.

You’re right.

But waiting for Congress to develop courage is a long game.
All they care about now is what happens in an election in two years. Long term consequences beyond two years don’t exist.

6 year Senators and 4 year Presidents know the House in 2 years can thwart or accelerate any dreams of change for the better. A Dem House could put Trump up for impeachment and end every bill introduced.

So they just let it all slide if it’s controversial.

So they’re forcing teachers to ignore science and lie, just to protect kids’ self-esteem?

No one in their right mind advocates "waiting", but neither is any particular national force urging effective corrective action.

The solution to the "long game" is that MAGA voters become more active at local levels at each and every subsequent election.

Otherwise, of course, as you point out, it is "the same old same old" where we remain behind the curve and it continues slipping out of our hands.

See LA and NYC along with most other dem-controlled major cities.

An attack on he/she is an attack on the tie between language and meaning. That way lies insanity.

To: Petrosius

The UK Supreme Court (where trans insanity is much more widespread than here) has ruled that the word “sex” in UK law means sex, that there are only two, that the sex you are born as is permanent until you die, and that any laws that appear to say your sex (in law) can change is unenforceable.

We need the USSC to make the same decision.

If adults want to play dress up, and call each other names, that’s legal in the UK - but making sane people agree is not allowed.

I wish they would make these gay ‘Dipstick judges” point this out to us in the Constitution. Sounds like this fag is out of his/her lane.
