Arkansas is the first of several states expected to enact such bans this year amid a flood of bills nationwide targeting the trans community.

and restricting drag shows. Transgender people have also faced increasingly hostile rhetoric at statehouses.

The new Arkansas law requires schools to provide reasonable accommodations, including single-person restrooms. Superintendents, principals and teachers who violate the prohibition could face fines of at least $1,000 from a state panel, and parents could also file private lawsuits to enforce the measure.

"She feels targeted, she feels discriminated against, she feels bullied, she feels singled out," Crockett said at a House panel hearing on the bill in January.

So Racist of Everyone who supports this

About time

Better yet build a port-a-potty, try hauling one of those damn things around could get pretty ugly.

BEST GOVERNOR EVER!!

GOOD FOR HER! Some of us still have COMMON SENSE !

So transgender females will be in the men’s room and transgender males will be in the women’s room? Sounds safe for all.

Excellent!

Notice y’all went from blm, to abortion to this?

😀

Great job Sarah Huckabee. A true inspiration in leadership!

Sarah is a feckless twit. She is still parroting her Fathers OLD word vomit. She has no authentic or original thoughts of her own…an overgrown clingy Daddy’s girl…UGH

Where are they to go to the bathroom?

Finally common sense. Make a special bathroom. Now everyone has a bathroom. Wow magic.

Good!

Nice. Pedos are really mad right now.

'Your' gender identity doesn't match reality, so... use the men's room, buddy.

I was wondering if this is the kind of attention that the LGB community wanted when they started forcing their values into the mainstream.

Great news...more states should follow.

GO SARAH

I'm so proud to see Arkansas put the safety of our daughters and granddaughters ahead of any transgender nonsense being force fed to society these days.

Now what?

Trans does not constitute gender. ONLY ONE’S CHROMOSOMES DO! Today’s medicine cannot alter chromosomes so the gender we’re born as is the ONLY gender 1 can b! No matter the surgical mutilation, we will die the gender we were born as, PERIOD! Everything else is neuterization.

Common sense

Good

Excellent but Democrats continue to argue to allow men with penises in little girls bathrooms

Their gender identity is on their birth certificate

And what’s wrong with this?

G O O D

Children …its a law directed at children. What a witch Thats not leadership that’s dictatorship

What restroom will she use

No wonder Arkansas remains one of the poorest states. This is what extreme governors prioritize.

Bravo!

Good

Trans folks aren’t attacking kids.. white Christian men are.

CBS followers who against this laws are a bunch of weirdos who need to in a crazy house instead, that is how much damage our school system has done to this craziness.

Kids are still getting shot at school but sure, this is where the problem is according to the GOP.

Of all the problems Arkansas has this isn’t even one of them

Devils advocate: you have a person who looks 100% like a male, but born a female. “He” uses the female public restroom while your daughter/ sister/mother/ wife is in there. Are you comfortable with that? I don’t think I would be. Now flip that around, you have a person who…

Glad. That child getting raped in the bathroom in Loudon county by a dude dressed as a female in school is sick. We need to keep this sexual predators away from our children.

Congratulations Arkansas! Can’t wait to read about the first “passable”transgender girls raped by other students and faculty in the men’s bathroom at these schools; it will happen, it is just a matter of when. As much as I don’t like trans using the restroom of their chosen…

Good work, trans isn't a thing.

Absolutely necessary in order to protect young girls!

LOL and how does the Huckster really expect to enforce this? 🤣

Boo🤯🤯🤯

If they’re soooo afraid of kids being targeted by pedophiles… they should ban churches and religious gatherings instead!!! That’s where ALL the pedos hide anyways!!!

The 'repulsive' part of this law is that it had to be passed. Gay, strait, male, or female, boys and girls use separate restrooms. This is not hard. AR may not be the highest Ed state, but we know the difference between boys and girls.

Good!

Boy she sure is helping everyone on inflation and corporate greed and shelves at grocery stores filled, man, she care about EVERYONE...NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT WTF is wrong with these ppl

Are you guys in CBS biologists? Do you really know how to define women?

Those bathrooms are sexists! What about all the other infinite genders!?

So, how exactly will they enforce this draconian law that wouldn’t violate a whole lot of privacy checks?

Anyone ever considered that some people may not feel like their biological gender because people keep telling them what it means to be a man or woman beyond basic biology? Maybe gender dysphoria is just a reflection of narrow-minded societal stereotypes.

I don’t want boys using the same bathroom as my granddaughters regardless of how they identify themselves. Normal vs crazy!!

what bathroom will she use?

Hi am Andrew reed

Good … as should All states!! They can have their own separate bathroom and they can have their own sports as well.

I foresee steaming piles of 💩 being left in front of restroom doors by protesters.

Sensible policy

Good! Regardless of how you decide to behave that doesn't change your gender. Boys and girls have separate bathrooms and should remain that way not based on behavior but biological science.

Can’t believe this is an even issue. The US is an embarrassment

What is their goal with this law? To keep people from using public toilets? What does the Public Health Department have to say about this?

This makes no one’s life better

Good.

Republicans celebrating Arkansas going from 23rd in education with Democrats in control to 47th after a few years with Republicans

'gender identity' 😜

We can do better! Vote Arkansas.

Good

That’s because the gender they’ve chosen to identify as is not the gender God gave them! They can try to do things that make them feel like another gender but it is never going to change the objective fact that they are the gender God made them.

All states should do the same. 💯

This will surely help their 47th in education ranking

Total nonsense!!!!💩🤬

Cruelty from a disgusting Trump enabling liar.

I’d leave if this was my governor

How does this fight inflation?

'Before you can go into the bathroom, drop your pants and let our state sanctioned genital inspector inspect you' These people actually call democrats pedophiles 😂

Establishing societal norms may be uncomfortable to some, but, I prefer restrooms separated into male or female, then a third option for all others is appropriate.

The crazy thing, most kids at high school could care less & have better things to worry about, like getting shot. Today's kids are much more evolved. Put stalls in the bathrooms, problem fixed. This is just ignorant adults putting their prejudice on kids.

That's one take on it. Another is it protects the the people that are not trans.

Outstanding!

Beyond being bias the headline is a lie. Nearly everyone can use the bathroom that matches their gender identity. It just also has to match your biology. This affects very very few people.

They just don't understand God made US ALL in its image. Republicans are blasphemous to think they are above his guidance.

Better spread even those bathrooms further apart... Maybe on separate floors even.

And hopefully other states will take their lead! Let's put a stop to this transgender garbage immediately!

Just as there are male and female toilets.. than make trans male/female toilets plus another for the non binary too. Plus in sports, they should have the right to have their own division too and not make trans people forced to compete with those that identify as a biological sex

Are men allowed in women’s bathrooms? Why should one self-identified group get extra privileges?

Good for Arkansas! The solution is non-gender restrooms.

What about targeting women You are propaganda.

So they pee in the classroom?

Are they providing latrines out the back?

Targeting switcheroos 😂😂😂

Wouldn’t this target every single human?

Arkansas is one of the poorest, least educated states in the country. I'm not terribly surprised the state treats its citizens like crap.

LGBTQ+++×6=SICK

Getting out in front of the issue

Excellent news!!! Every state should do this.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signs bill allowing pro-life monument at state CapitolA new Arkansas law would allow the creation of a pro-life monument near the state Capitol to mark the number of abortions performed before Roe v. Wade was overturned. They aren’t pro life they are only anti abortion, pro life ppl don’t make dangerous child labor easier for companies, pro life ppl don’t withhold prenatal healthcare from ppl, pro life ppl don’t make ppl pay to give birth safely OK but make sure whoever it is is it’s someone that actually also promotes pro life values for new born babies & children once they’re born! Don’t call yourself pro life when once they’re born u don’t give a shit about them! How many years has GOP tried cutting back aid families? Let's not get unhinged. Think things through.
