This feels more like a scholastic version of malicious compliance. Since the bill requires parents to be notified if a student wants to go by a different name (obviously aimed squarely at outing trans and enby kids), school admin decided to cover their bases and say "fine, we'll do it for every last little bit, nicknames, etc".
The school is doing this because they're required by the state to. It isn't malicious compliance. They're literally required to report every single kid that wants to go by a nickname.
It's an enormous inconvenience for teachers, (who are already drowning in their workload) but the state doesn't care so long as it makes life harder for trans and nonbinary kids.
I'm guessing this is in Florida, but there might be one or two more states that are pulling this shit too.
Sounds like the kids should overwhelm the school with new nickname requests several times a day.
I read someone make this comment and thought they were being bigoted, like the attack helicopter thing. Shit now I understand. Break the system.
I think it was in Iowa actually.
There has been talk banning pronouns, which would cause chaos in schools. That would mean that these words couldn't be said in schools: I, me, you, him, her, his, hers, mine, yours, it, its, they, them, theirs, he, she, one, this, these, that, who, and which among many others.
Speaking in a classroom would become very difficult avoiding the list of banned words.
That plan sounds double-plus-ungood
I think that bill didn't survive thankfully.
Although there's going to be a bunch of bad laws that go into effect on friday.
