Florida imposes harsh penalties on state college staff for violating transgender bathroom restrictions

Florida's Board of Education approved firing employees for using bathrooms inconsistent with their sex assigned at birth.
The new rules apply to faculty and staff at colleges in the Florida state system.
Employees face warnings, unpaid suspension, and termination for violations.
The restrictions also bar transgender students living in dorms from using bathrooms aligning with their gender identity.
The penalties come after Florida passed a law banning transgender people from using bathrooms matching their gender identity.
