Medical Association Wants 6th Circ. Pronoun Ruling Redo
Law360 (May 18, 2021, 9:10 PM EDT) The American Medical Association and other groups spoke up for the use of gender-affirming pronouns in schools Tuesday, asking the Sixth Circuit to reconsider its ruling on a free-speech case by an Ohio professor and saying evidence supports the university s policy of respecting students gender identities.

Meriwether s case against the trustees at Shawnee State University.
