Ohio Rules That Pronoun Policy Violates First Amendment Rights

[ChristisKing]

ThisIsMe Where's your response?

Right, simple



Well of course. There is no such thing as a thought crime.

So which of us is committing 'thought crime' whatever that is?

Me having the right to use common sense and correct terms for biological genders?

Or you saying I am committing 'thought crime' when I do that?

 

[ThisIsMe]

No, but you could act like you are older than 3 and just be polite.

Is it polite for them to get angry and demand you give in to them? I understand being polite but that goes both ways.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

As a matter of courtesy, I will use a pronoun requested by the person I am personally interacting with. Doesn't hurt me in any way to do that.

I refuse using the phony pronoun. I won’t play that game.
I won’t object to others using whatever they want but I won’t.
My prerogative and their prerogative.

Suspension and expulsion for not using preferred pronouns? There's no way I would allow my children to be a part of a school like that. I'm glad that this nonsense is ending though.

Ohio is a MAGA state, with MAGA governor, legislature, and Federal representatives. They voted for Trump. whats wrong with MAGA states?!?

What was the makeup of the school board and the school administrators?

It's not polite to force people to speak in a way that they don't believe in.

What's wrong with allowing people to speak freely?

Who knows. I don't know the makeup of the bus drivers either. MAGA state controls schools districts within the state.

That's your prerogative. I guess in personal interactions with others I take my cue from Elwood P. Dowd as much as possible: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she's day, In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."

To refuse to use a requested pronoun with the person I'm interacting with would introduce an unnecessary toxic element into that interaction. He/she may push me to be unpleasant, but until that happens, I too recommend pleasant.

I respect that. But this is about cultural erosion even if the other person is unaware. Much bigger issue than the conversation at hand.

You really think those were right leaning school boards and administrators?

LOL, rube.

Good question lol. What i was going to say is, what is going on is one more step from "acceptance" to "enforcement". There will come a day when, if you refuse the advances of a trans person, you will be labeled homohobic and charged with a hate crime. There are already youtube videos about this.

 

[buckeye]

Most of what we see isn't real gender dysphoria, it's fetishism.

Abigail Shrier calls it a social contagion. I think it could be both.

Whatever it is, it is certainly not healthy.

 

[Zincwarrior]

LOL, rube.

I think MAGA Ohio controls the education system in Ohio.
It sounds like the lawsuit has resolved the issue. Personally, I fully support the determination of the court that this is a First Amendment issue for the students, so we are on the same page.

 

[WEATHER53]

You are what my human eyes and brains identify you as. You are not what you pretend to be and won’t be called such

LOL!!! You think DeWine is MAGA????

Leftists are the most uninformed people in the world.

Vivek will crush DeWine's hand picked idiot he put in charge of us during Covid. Then we'll have a MAGA governor.

True. DeWine is a Republican. MAGAs are now almost completed unrelated.

DeWine is a RINO. They've been around for decades.
