Is National Legislation the Right Response to a Shifting Cultural Landscape?

The U.S. The Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1, which prohibits providing minors with puberty blockers or hormone therapy to treat gender dysphoria, ruling that the law is constitutional. In response, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she would reintroduce the “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” and pledged to continue pushing for federal legislation. Author Allen Thomas notes, “With state sovereignty taking a front seat in many recent Supreme Court rulings, and with so much at stake culturally and politically, we now face a larger question: should this issue be addressed through national legislation, or is it best left to the states?”
