Had a good friend in high school that has been a biology teacher for the last 30-ish years (he is 53). Saw it on the local news tonight. Apparently he refused to use 'proper' pronouns with students and was fired from his job over it. He is very religious (has been since I have known him and I had went to church with him a few times when we were younger). He is claiming it is against his religious beliefs and his thoughts as related to his Biology background.

On a side note, my wife had open house last night at her school. A few weeks back there was an issue with a student named Haley that wanted to be called Arlo. My wife sent an email home addressing the student as Arlo. The parent responded saying she must have sent it to the wrong parent. So teachers were told to ask students what name they were supposed to use when talking to parents at open house. One teacher said he almost slipped up a few times because he had been using a certain name for a student all year and now on one night has to call them something else.
This is ridiculous!
