It'd be a real shame if all the students who aren't on board with the intent of that law were to request a different name/pronoun at every opportunity to tie up school personnel with notification paperwork (since HB 1608 ^Full ^text, ^PDF specifies that the notification is to be done in writing). Certainly hope they don't do that or administrators might start complaining to elected officials.
- Man I would be requesting a new nickname daily...
  
  “I feel like a ‘Dickhead’ today. Can you please process the formal request for that to be my nickname?”
  
  Daily? I'd be changing my name every class!
  
  Every class? I'd be adding new titles every time someone said my name... 'that's Mr. Anon Beauregard G5 big dick playa the 12th formally known as count dankula, now."
  
  we cou;d go a step further and have a random name generator making a constant flow of new original names every second.
- Crippling public schools with meaningless busu work is a happy side affect for the people that came up with these laws. There has been a GOP led war on oublic education for the past 30 years
- You think administrators are going to be doing this? That's cute. It would be making teachers' lives horrible. Republicans would be thanking you for driving them insane, making their lives worse, and making them think about quitting so they can continue to take public education funding for private charter schools.
  
  I think there are ways to make shit roll uphill and teenagers are relentless when they find a way to make somebody else miserable.
  
  Not in states without adequate union representation, AKA most red states.
- No, I was Bustopher Jones yesterday. Today, I am Jennyanydots.
