April 8, 2023 - Governor Kirk Paul has expressed that the state will not support, nor will his administration support the teaching of trans-ideology to students in schools across the state. Signing Executive Order 0190537 and 0190538, Paul criminalized these teachings and schools will lose funding if it is found that they knowingly and willingly allowed such teachings to be done in schools.

"This pandemic has gone far enough, and we are sick and tired of hearing trans-lives matter, and we MUST sympathize with trans individuals," said Governor Paul. "We don't have to, and we should not. Its a mental illness and there is no other way to put it."

The legislation is temporary, but Paul is attempting to codify it into law. If passed, Mesa State, would no longer support or be a safe-haven state for transgender people."

His words have sparked outrage by the trans-community, but he remains firm in his case to ensure that the "Trans-Era," is supressed fairly quickly. Many of these groups have also called on him to resign. Paul said quickly, "I will not."
