(THE COLLEGE FIX) – A faculty labor union put pressure on the University of Arizona this month to teach nursing students to ask 3-year-old patients about their “gender identity” after the Tucson-based school backtracked on the issue.
The university is facing criticism from both sides of the transgender debate after images of a UA College of Nursing presentation instructing students to ask “gender” questions to pediatric patients sparked outrage on X.
The university issued a statement Sept. 8 distancing itself from the debate, saying its nursing school “does not recommend or advocate for young children to be asked gender-related questions in wellness checks.”
