Alternative sex and gender
Guardian - The Southern Poverty Law Center and another group have amended a federal lawsuit against a Georgia
school district to include a transgender student and a grassroots youth
organization, effectively becoming the “first case challenging
anti-LGBTQ book bans” in the state.The move –
done anonymously to protect the student – widens the case’s focus from
how teachers are affected by censorship laws and policies in Georgia, to
how those same policies affect children.Harry Chiu, with the Southern Education Foundation
and one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, told the Guardian he believes the
case could “set a precedent in Georgia and across the region that book
bans which discriminate against LGBTQ students and educators who teach
age-appropriate lessons are unconstitutional”.
