联邦上诉法院判定俄亥俄州学校不能强迫学生使用特定代名词, A federal appeals court ruled Ohio schools can't force students to use specific pronouns, citing First Amendment free speech rights.

联邦上诉法院裁定,俄亥俄州一个学区的政策要求学生使用基于生物性别的代名词,这违反了《第一修正案》,指出它迫使学生发表言论并侵犯言论自由。 A federal appeals court ruled that an Ohio school district’s policy requiring students to use pronouns based on biological sex violates the First Amendment, stating it compels speech and infringes on free expression. 第六巡回法院的第10-7号判决推翻了下级法院,认为该政策没有中断学校运作或构成骚扰的证据。 The Sixth Circuit’s 10-7 decision reversed a lower court, finding no evidence the policy disrupted school operations or constituted harassment. 法院确认学校仍然可以执行反欺凌规则,以保护变性学生和非二元学生,但法院强调,各区不能强迫个人使用首选代名词。 While affirming schools can still enforce anti-bullying rules to protect transgender and nonbinary students, the court emphasized that districts cannot force individuals to use preferred pronouns. 持反对意见的法官认为,学校必须维护相互尊重的环境,防止骚扰。 Dissenting judges argued schools must maintain respectful environments and prevent harassment. 这项裁决突出表明,在公众教育中,在性别认同和言论自由问题上,法律和社会关系仍然紧张。 The ruling highlights ongoing legal and societal tensions over gender identity and free speech in public education.
