This should go both ways. In the other States that are banning use of gender affirming policies teachers who disagree with that should just claim their religion does not permit them to comply. What religion is that? Doesn't matter - religious policies and rules for their members in this are just made up.

7) Throughout their confirmation hearings the six Federalist Society justices pledged allegiance to stare decisis, the doctrine that courts will adhere to precedent in making their decisions. They also claimed allegiance to originalism (a Trojan Horse whose utility is its privileging “original intent” over precedents).

But their commitment was not to stare decisis, nor originalism, but to ipse dixit (“he himself said it”)—it’s the law because we say it’s the law.

Congressional staffer #AaronFritschner pointed out that Alito's excuse that his wife was upset about vulgarity near a school bus stop doesn't add up: "Justice #Alito says his wife #MarthaAnnAlito had an altercation with neighbors about a ''F--- Trump' sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21.' Except... #FCPS and #ACPS were all remote in January of 2021. No children were waiting for buses," he wrote.
