Blaze: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) signed a bill on Tuesday that requires transgender people to use public school restrooms that align with their biological sex and not their preferred gender identity.
The legislation applies to multi-person restrooms and locker rooms at pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade public and charter schools. While the law is not slated to go into effect until later in the summer, it will be in place before the 2023-2024 school year starts.
In a statement to the Associated Press, a spokesperson for Sanders explained that the bill was enacted to protect children from the “woke agenda.”
Alexa Henning, a spokesperson for Sanders, stated, “The governor has said she will sign laws that focus on protecting and educating our kids, not indoctrinating them, and believes our schools are no place for the radical left’s woke agenda.”
“Arkansas isn’t going to rewrite the rules of biology just to please a handful of far-left advocates,” she added. more
Sad that this has to be legislated at all.
God bless Sarah Huckaby. I wish she were our president
