Right. They’re not the ones responsible for it, but they can help end it by maliciously complying and publicizing the government overreach at every opportunity.
Just imagine the media attention that would be garnered if thousands of students at many different schools adopting a new gender neutral nickname on a daily basis for months on end. Or entire student bodies laying on the floor refusing to do anything, for months on end, until there was sensible gun reform/teachers unarmed etc. School disciplinary policies aren’t able to cope with mass disobedience, they’re designed to address the conduct of individuals and very small groups, not the majority of a student body, and media eats this shit up. I could see more impact coming from an entire generation of youth going on school strike than almost anything else I can think of.
And it would be easy to shape the messaging to be directed at the state capitol, not the teachers.
EDIT: Though perhaps it would be impossible, given that the very real urban/rural divide means that you’d only have urban/suburban students participating en masse, enabling the right media machine to be able to write it off as a liberal indoctrination/stunt.
Has anyone thought about completely overwhelming their system with name changes every class? The student could pick a different name every period.
The problem with that is that the “system” is teachers.

Yep, sadly those responsible for this idiocy would be unaffected by this form of protest.
