Some students at a California school have been suspended and later face restorative justice following a misgendering incident with a transgender teacher. When the students were approached about the misgendering incident, they reportedly fled (via Fox News):

A California school district suspended two children for five days after a misgendering incident took place, and then subjected them to a training called "restorative justice," according to an email reviewed by Fox News Digital.
The email was sent by a recently departed principal of Herbert Hoover High School located in the Glendale Unified School District. It was first reported by GUSD Parents Voices.
The former principal, Jennifer Earl, described two students who misgendered a transgender student, and then ran away as the teacher attempted to correct them.
"I suspended two students for five days each today and will be conducting [restorative justice] with students and teacher for [the misgendering]… In interviewing them, they admitted to being curious about a transgender person," Earl said.
"I asked [the] teacher [involved in the incident] how he wanted to handle it, if he wanted me to just teach them about misgendering or would he like me to speak about being trans. He asked me to educate on transgender. It was well received from students and parents. [Restorative justice] will happen after suspension," the email said.
GUSD explained to Fox News Digital that they make determinations if a misgendering – generally defined as using the wrong pronouns – is considered bullying based on whether a student's perceived intent.
We have a school district in California (surprise) telling students they MUST accept a lie. This is beyond disgusting.https://t.co/5CWhmginUY

Some kids are stupid, some are bullies, and some are contrarian. It could be a mix here. It’s a brave new world for many of us—and it doesn’t make sense. Biological males being accepted as full-fledged women who can reproduce will never be accepted because it’s not reality. Place that insanity in a school setting it will lead to these predictable incidents. Depending on the age, defying whatever the administration says might be the default reaction with these students, especially regarding the guidelines regarding transgenders on school grounds.
I enjoy the woke parents and school board officials freaking out over these kids blasting their regime on these issues. In Massachusetts, middle school students launched a rebellion, declaring their pronouns to be “USA.” This left-wing social agenda item isn’t popular and will never be because it’s science fiction.
Parents, teachers, and school administrators are furious with a group of students for protesting "Pride Day" at their school.

Instead of wearing rainbow clothes, these students showed up wearing American flag apparel, chanting "my pronouns are USA!" pic.twitter.com/GsvaAasVUU
