This should be an easy overturn, but we all know the "freedumb of speech" crowd got their puppet "justices" (misnomer if I ever heard one) on the SC to only interpret the phrase in a particular way.
Wait, how can they out the students if they can't talk about trans people?
"Thank you for coming in, parents who are either so antagonistic to their child or so checked out of their life you don't know a fundamental aspect of their being before a teacher does.
I am required by law to tell you something about your child, but I am barred by the same law from saying what it is. Hopefully you go home and just feel bad about yourself rather than becoming violent with your child. I love that my poorly paid job now makes me complicit in this."
Don't bother looking for logical consistency in right wing legislation. It isn't there, and drawing attention to their hypocrisy will drive you insane cuz none of them care.
The only thing that's ever consistent is the cruelty: the goal is always to hurt some out-group. Often at the cost of hurting themselves, but so long as the out-group is hurt too, they don't mind falling on their own sword to make it happen.
Bigot bills rarely make sense.
Let me guess, no such ban on talking about pedophiles?
Nah, that's fine just so long as they're not Republican ones.
ETA: Oh, wait... I guess there IS such a ban.
