1. Missouri prefiled bills are in, and the anti-trans panic continues.
One even goes as far as to ban social transition in schools.
Any teacher who "supports" it, including name changes, pronouns, or "treatment," would be fired.
Even with parent permission!

The bill defines social transition as name changes and pronouns, and would disallow any "conduct that facilitates" such social transition.

Just wait till some biologist professor gets in trouble because a student claims a religious belief that evolution doesn't exist or a physicist professor because a student says the world is only 6,000 years old. It'll be the death of higher education in the US and the start of a theocracy.

It's not great that a student can turn in a bad essay but vaguely point to the Bible and religious beliefs as an excuse for not following the actual assignment and terrible writing. That's not what college is supposed to be.
The professor did nothing wrong but she was pulled off the course anyways.
