The Glendale Unified School District in Southern California suspended two students last year for “misgendering” a transgender teacher and had the students undergo a “restorative justice” training, according to an email obtained by a district parent group.

In the May 2022 email, former Herbert Hoover High School principal Jennifer Earl said she suspended two students for five days each after they entered a classroom—in which they were not enrolled—and addressed the classroom’s transgender teacher incorrectly, according to an email obtained by district parent group GUSD Parents’ Voices and posted last week on its Twitter account.
