Oklahoma HB3138, the Free to Speak Act, mandates that public school and higher education employees use a student's legal name and pronouns consistent with their biological sex, unless parental consent is obtained. It prohibits employees from facing adverse employment actions for refusing to use names or pronouns inconsistent with a student's sex. Students cannot be disciplined for the same refusal. The act allows harmed individuals to pursue a private cause of action against the school for injunctive relief and monetary damages.
