A Florida judge temporarily blocked a pronoun law from being enforced against one nonbinary and two transgender teachers this week.
“Once again, the State of Florida has a First Amendment problem,” Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker wrote in the temporary injunction. “Of late, it has happened so frequently, some might say you can set your clock by it.”
“This time, the State of Florida declares that it has the absolute authority to redefine your identity if you choose to teach in a public school,” the opinion, released Tuesday, continued. “So, the question before this Court is whether the First Amendment permits the State to dictate, without limitation, how public-school teachers refer to themselves when communicating to students. The answer is a thunderous ‘no.’”
The report explains that a lawsuit was filed in December by two transgender teachers and one nonbinary teacher, in reaction to Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education Act.
The law, which passed in 2022, prohibits schools from giving classroom instruction or discussions about sexual orientation or gender identity to students from kindergarten through third grade. The law is commonly referred to by those on the left as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Judge Walker only granted an exception to one of the teachers who filed the lawsuit, a transgender teacher who goes by the name Katie Wood. Wood, a biological male, was already being called Ms. Wood prior to when the law took effect.
Below is an interview with Wood last year, as MSNBC bemoaned the teacher’s plight.
Appreciate Judge Walker’s citation to my work in his new opinion blocking a Florida policy that bans transgender teachers from using their preferred pronouns at school! https://t.co/8pGqHlDQga pic.twitter.com/CRmwbplpqe
