It All Starts At Home: Arizona To Potentially Introduce Legislation Requiring Parental Permission For This...

Arizona state senator-elect John Kavanagh, a state representative, is moving a measure that would require parents to provide permission for a school to use pronouns for a student that doesn't match their biological sex.

The Blaze reports that this measure is meant to encourage schools to require parental permission before speaking to a student using pronouns that don't align with their biological sex. The legislation reads in part:

"An employee or independent contractor of a school district or charter school may not knowingly address, identify or refer to a student who is under eighteen years of age by a pronoun that differs from the pronoun that aligns with the student's biological sex unless the school district or charter school receives written permission from the student's parent."

The measure intends to protect those with religious objections to referring to a student by pronouns that do not match up with their biological sex. The point of this is to try to ensure that teachers are not forced to speak to students in a way that does not align with their biological sex.

The Arizona Mirror reports that the State Representative is also seeking to introduce a measure requiring teachers to have parental permission before they address the student by a name other than the legal name they were given at birth.

Kavanagh stated the following about his legislation:

"Under my bill you can call a person by a different pronoun or you can even call the person by a name associated with the opposite biological gender, so long as the parents have given permission,."

He continued by saying the following:

"Transgender students are often under psychological stress," he said. "In fact there's a term ... called gender dysphoria and that type of condition needs parental assistance and perhaps even medical attention that the parents refer the student to. This cannot happen if the school keeps the parents in the dark."

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs will become the state's next Governor next year, and she would likely oppose the measure even if it passes through the legislature. She is a Democrat and will have the veto over legislation like this.

Kavanaugh said the following about this reality:

"I'm not willing to assume that Gov. Hobbs would want to keep parents in the dark, especially when the children have a condition that results overall in higher suicide rates,"
