    You would rather such atrocities are not reported? Everyone in this thread is so mad I feel I'm missing something.

    This is nothing but "rah rah get mad about transgender people because youre bigots rage bait for old gulible Trump lovers in Texas."

    Should this be happening to children no, but theyre in Texas in 2026 with a pedophile president so it's not surprising, why is thehill.com writing about it. It is a small case out of texas. They aren't writing about every school in the country are they? Is that their main focus as journalists? Nah, never has been.

    The school cares because of legal compliance. School systems have no money to defend themselves legally so their risk tolerance is below zero.

    Except there is no law prohibiting a woman being cast as a male character, but there are laws prohibiting discrimination against this cancelation on the basis of the lead being female.

    If you truly believe they're doing it for preventative legal reasons, why would they just open themselves up to a guaranteed lawsuit instead of following a spirit of law that doesn't even apply to theater?
