    Three students at a Wisconsin middle school are facing allegations of sexual harassment under Title IX after they repeatedly refused to use "they/them" pronouns when addressing a fellow student.

    Redefinition and selective recasting of what the word "sexual" actually means.

    The problem is these people can reinterpret already existing law any way they want, even in ways none of the lawmakers who originally passed that law could have ever imagined.

    On one hand, this probably goes too far and is probably not the intended use of the law.

    On the other, they were probably doing this to bully the girl. I don't have any sympathy for them.

    The obvious solution: refer to all others as "it."

    I don't think I trust the source of this news. Does anybody know of another news outlet who reported on this?
