Transgender teen left shaken after Texas officials question him at his middle school

How can students in Texas feel safe when the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services has the power to pull transgender students out of the classroom to interrogate them?

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott can’t be bothered to comment or acknowledge students when they’re gunned down in their classrooms, as we saw with his lackluster response to the massacre in Uvalde in May. But when it comes to challenging his constituents’ rights to gender-affirming health care, he’s all in.

Last month, a 13-year-old transgender student was yanked out of his classroom and into a conference room with Texas officials, who interrogated him for nearly an hour, The Washington Post reports.
