A Wake County lawmaker wants to prevent elementary school employees from dressing in ways that don't conform with their biological sex.
State Rep. Erin Paré, R-Wake, in a post on her campaign Facebook page Monday night, floated the idea of a state law that would require sex-based professional attire for public-school employees.
Mrs. Paré posted about the issue after hearing concerns from parents about the possibility of a transgender teacher in their southern Wake County elementary school, describing the teacher as “biological male, who dresses as a woman.”
In a post Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, Mrs. Paré added that the Wake County school district should have policies that “protect children from being exposed to more complex and mature gender-identity questions and concepts at too young of an age.” Mrs. Paré didn't identify the school in her posts, nor did she identify the teacher.
Mrs. Paré, one of only two Wake County Republicans in the legislature, is a top budget-writer in the state House. As a chairwoman on the House appropriations committee, she has a say on how state funds are spent on all manner of things, including education.
Her idea about attire could face an uphill battle against legal precedent. The proposal drew swift opposition from some on the other end of the political spectrum.

For reference, federal court decisions in recent years have protected employees from discrimination against their gender identity. One North Carolina charter school had its dress code — which required girls to wear skirts — struck down for violating Title IX, a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination.

TROUBLE!
Now she's challenging the ideals that allow the transgender agenda to be advanced.

Boys fought for the right to have the girls’ dress code. Go figure.

The answer is quite simple: those who suffer from the mental disease popularly known as “Transgenderism” should not be teaching in public schools. Challenge the premise, not the clothing.

Have there been any court cases about that, about transgender teachers?
I think there were court cases many years ago about homosexual teachers. Teachers are allowed to be openly gay now.
I know decades ago, homosexual teachers would have been fired. Transgender would have been unthinkable.
But we live in a different world now.
