The Arizona State Legislature sent a bill to Gov. Katie Hobbs’ desk Wednesday that would allow students and parents to sue public school educators for promoting antisemitism.

Public school teachers and staff “may not teach, instruct, or train students in any antisemitism or antisemitic conduct, act, or process that constitutes harassment or discrimination and that creates a hostile educational environment,” the Antisemitism in Education Act states.

The bill mandates the State Board of Education to reprimand a teacher after one offense, suspend the teacher after two, and revoke his or her teaching certificate after three violations.

Further, “A student who is at least eighteen years of age, or the parents of a minor student, may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin any violation of this section that creates a hostile educational environment for the student,” the bill states.

The legislation also offers examples of kinds of speech it would prohibit, including labeling Israel’s existence as “racist” or likening Israeli policies to those of the Nazis, AZ Central reported.

Colorado Sacrifices Free Speech to Protect Transgenders from “Dead Naming”

In the name of protecting a disenfranchised class from endemic suicide, the state of Colorado has just declared its independence from American rule of law. The rogue state openly defied the 1^st amendment to pass House Bill 25-1314, which effectively makes it illegal for Americans to “deadname” a transgender person.

One provision removed exposes the depraved hearts of the authors of this act of insurrection. It would have ordered judges to “consider deadnaming, misgendering, or threatening to publish material related to an individual’s gender-affirming health-care services as types of coercive control.” This is specifically applied when “making child custody decisions and determining the best interests of a child for purposes of parenting time, a court shall.”

According to Colorado Newsline:

House Bill 25-1312, dubbed the Kelly Loving Act in honor of a transgender woman killed during the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs, would make it a discriminatory act to intentionally not refer to a transgender person by their chosen name. It also requires school policies be “inclusive of all reasons” that a student changes their name, and it says schools must allow students to choose from any variation contained in dress code policies.

What does “inclusive of all reasons” even mean? And since when can minors decide these sorts of things? Because what if it’s against the wishes of the parents? Is that much of a concern to lawmakers?

The bill includes a provision that says someone does not need a court order if they want to change their gender marker on a driver’s license or other identification a second or third time. Colorado allows an “X” gender marker on state IDs, but that has led to some people having trouble with student loans and passport applications, so some people may want to change their gender markers back. It will also allow a county clerk to issue a new marriage license to someone who has legally changed their name….
