Iowa: Federal appeals court blocks school's gender pronoun policy

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - On Friday, the 8th Circut Court of Appeals blocked a provision that requires students and staff to use a person’s preferred pronouns and respect a gender identity or face discipline.
Linn-Mar passed a policy in April 2022 that would allow students to create a gender support plan that, among other things, requires staff and students to address a child by a new name or gender identity pronouns, change the child’s name on government documents, use the restroom and locker room matching the child’s gender identity, and participate in sports programs that match their gender identity.
A parental advocacy group filed a federal lawsuit in response, claiming the policy violates the rights of students who hold beliefs about biological sex by forcing them to affirm the beliefs of administrators and fellow students. 09/29/2023
