Summary
Provides relative to the use of certain names and pronouns for students
Curator notes
"The Given Name Act" says that it's ok for K12 school employees and students to not use a person's pronouns or name if they don't align with their birth certificate & gamete sex, and that parents can require the schools to misgender their trans kids. Based on Heritage Foundation's model bill of the same name.
