FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va.—Parents protested on Thursday Fairfax County Public Schools’ latest pro-transgender push to include gender identity topics in elementary school sex education and new rules to discipline students who don’t refer to a transgender person by the person’s preferred name or gender, whether accidentally or intentionally. These changes may be up for a school board vote in June.

If approved, “malicious deadnaming” and “malicious misgendering” will be gender identity-related offenses that could lead to up to five days of out-of-school suspension and referral to law enforcement for elementary school students.
