Divided appeals court backs Florida ban on preferred pronouns in school classrooms

FLORIDA, JUL 4 – The ruling allows Florida to enforce a law that restricts transgender teachers from using preferred pronouns in class, overturning a preliminary injunction that protected free speech rights.

  • A divided federal appeals court supported a 2023 Florida law that requires teachers to use pronouns matching their sex assigned at birth, rejecting claims of First Amendment violations by a transgender teacher.
  • The majority opinion stated that the transgender teacher could not prove she was speaking as a private citizen in class.
  • Judge Adalberto Jordan dissented, warning about the ruling's potentially far-reaching implications.
  • The law prevents teachers from using preferred pronouns that differ from their assigned sex at birth, reflecting broader state attempts at speech control.
