Ohio Governor Mike DeWine Signs Anti-Trans Bathroom Bill for K-12 and College Students

Nov 27, 2024, 03:25 PM

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has signed a new law that mandates students in K-12 and college institutions to use bathrooms and locker rooms corresponding to their sex assigned at birth. The legislation, often referred to as the 'anti-trans bathroom bill,' applies to both public and private schools, effectively banning transgender students from using facilities that align with their gender identity. Supporters of the law argue that it is necessary to protect privacy and safety in restrooms, responding to concerns from parents about the inclusion of transgender individuals in shared facilities. The law has sparked significant debate regarding transgender rights and access to public facilities in Ohio.
