Florida's Board of Education is forcing state colleges to fire employees who don't use bathrooms of their assigned sex at birth

• Florida's State Board of Education approved new bathroom restrictions for college employees on Wednesday.
• The rule says colleges should fire employees who don't use the bathroom of their assigned sex.
• It also applies to students living in college dorms.

The Florida State Board of Education voted to approve a new rule on Wednesday that features hefty consequences for state college employees who use bathrooms not of their assigned sex at birth, forcing colleges to fire employees after two incidents.

The new rule goes beyond the sweeping legislation Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in May, House Bill 1521, which restricted access to restrooms but only vaguely stated that employees found in violation "are subject to discipline."

Now, the board's newly approved rule makes it clear that "a second documented offense must result in termination" if an employee doesn't use the restroom or changing facilities that align with their biological sex at birth.
