More recent news is that the guy who proposed the law has backed down on it.
Protest sometimes actually works!
Probably lawyers. Telling him that you have be explicit in exactly precisely what is forbidden. I don’t know what precisely defines a hajib or a burqa. But who’s gonna say if a Moslem woman piously wears the uniform habit of a nun that she is, or is not, in violation? What if she writes “burqa” on it in Arabic?
Sadly, I doubt that it failed because of the stupid and mean spirited ignorance of the thing, but it could not be legally structured.
If “stupid” was a bar to anything, half of Congress and all of Trump’s transition team would be out of a job.
That one’s more of an “evil” RIotD…
It’s pretty stupid, too. Two kinds of teachers : liberal weenies who just won’t comply with the law and nobody can prove different ; and fundie idjits who already gleefully did so. Basically the law is virtue signaling, except without the virtue. Asshat signaling, if you will.
How would the teacher, who spends maybe 45 minutes with the kid in a class with 30 other students, know more about the gender orientation of the kid than the parents? How could this be anything more than ‘your kid looks gay to me’?
Children whose parents would not approve of their gender/orientation often don’t have much of a support system to deal with that. Teachers are one possible source of support. This bill is an attempt to further isolate children who are already more at risk of bullying and suicide. Now there’ll be one less person they could possibly safely tell.
It is undeniably evil.
What might that do to some insecure early teen? “Dear, we have a note from your teacher, says you’re a homosexual? So, your Dad and I are sending you to Butch Camp. No, no, you’re sister is going to Barbieville Stepford…”
It’s one more move to keep those evil homusexyooals hidden.
That’s the scariest and most outright stupidly evil Republican idea of all.
Public Education is the very foundation of every modern society.
Not only that, corporations routinely complain that schools are not teaching graduates the right skills. They want more taught, not less.
They don’t need our kids to be smart and skillful anymore, they just need them to buy stuff.
Just like a Kurasawa film. Rulers flashing, heads hitting the ground 
Well, the white and uneducated were the Republicans main constituency in the last election. With immigration “reform” they are working hard on the white part, now they are just working on boosting the numbers in the uneducated demographic.

Accusations of vote fraud that even Republican Elections boards reject
They want to pack (add two POP* controlled seats) the state Supreme Court.
Elections have consequences - unless the POP* can cheat its way out of them.
*POP = Party of Pepe - the white supremacist frog.
I’m not sure why that should be a stupid Republican idea. It’s objectively true. No court has ever held - in the absence of a state constitutional provision - that education is a right. The suit might succeed because the State of Michigan chooses to provide universal public education, and fails to equally provide resources, but not because education itself is an underlying right.
