On March 21, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a bill banning transgender students from using restrooms that differ from the sex on their birth certificates.

CNN reports that the new law represents the latest GOP-led effort to limit the rights of LGBTQ students in schools.

.

The bill applies to restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms and shower rooms in public and charter schools.

Failing to comply with the new law, which applies to pre-K through 12th grade, can result in $1,000 fines for superintendents, teachers and principals.

The bill also requires schools to provide accommodations for those who would be prohibited from using the facilities under the new law.

However, the law specifies that those accommodations must not include , “access to a restroom or changing area that is designated for use by members of the opposite sex to an individual while members of the opposite sex of the individual are present or may be present.”.

The governor has said she will sign laws that focus on protecting and educating our kids, not indoctrinating them, and believes our schools are no place for the radical left’s woke agenda, Alexa Henning, Spokesperson for Sanders, via CNN.

Arkansas isn’t going to rewrite the rules of biology just to please a handful of far-left advocates, Alexa Henning, Spokesperson for Sanders, via CNN.

Melanie Willingham-Jaggers, the executive director of GLSEN, an advocacy group for LGBTQ students, argues that the new law uses , “trans and nonbinary kids as political pawns.".

Enforcing these bills would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for schools and extraordinarily invasive toward transgender students, Melanie Willingham-Jaggers, the executive director of GLSEN, via CNN

‘U.S Is Not Your Piggy Bank…’ U.S Lashes Out At Ukraine | Zelensky To Flee Ukraine Amid Tensions?

In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia.

Elon Musk Sets GOP On Fire: Backs ‘Loser’ Massie To Humiliate Trump In Revenge Power Play

A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud. Trump labeled Massie a “pathetic loser” and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Musk’s financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massie’s campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party — between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values. #ElonMusk #TrumpVsMassie #GOPCivilWar #ThomasMassie #BigBeautifulBill #RepublicanPrimary #TrumpAttack #FiscalConservative #GOP2025 #USPolitics #CongressNews #ElonX #MAGA #GOPDrama #Massie2025 #RepublicanFeud #JustinAmash #TrumpTruthSocial #PrimaryBattle #SwampWars ~HT.408~

Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’ [Video]

Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government. Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.” The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention. #GretaThunberg #BudapestPride #HungaryNews #LGBTQ #ViktorOrban #GretaVsOrban #HumanRights #HungarianPolitics #Pride2025 #ClimateActivist #FreedomOfSpeech #BanOnLove #OrbanGovernment #LGBTQRights #GretaInHungary #OrbánCriticism #ProtestNews #GazaControversy #HungaryUnderOrban #EuropePolitics Also Read Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Aid Mission Blocked By Israel Amid Naval Standoff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-s-gaza-aid-mission-blocked-by-israel-amid-naval-standoff-4175697.html?ref=DMDesc Greta Thunberg Leads Protest Against Azerbaijan Hosting COP29 Climate Summit Over Human Rights Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-protests-against-azerbaijan-hosting-climate-summit-011-3984443.html?ref=DMDesc Explained: Why Was Greta Thunberg Arrested At The University Of Copenhagen? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-why-was-greta-thunberg-arrested-at-the-university-of-copenhagen-3925483.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.346~
