Kendall Jenner tends to keep her private life on the down low, but she spoke a little about her approach to romance in a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

There’s a new awards show in town.

Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny continue their romantic relationship. The couple first started dating in February, with fans doubting the rumors of their love after it was reported that the pair were spotted together in Beverly Hills, on a double date with Justin and Hailey Bieber.And while many had mixed reactions about the romantic rumors, as Bad Bunny was previously linked to Gabriela Berlingeri, while Kendall was in an on-and-off relationship with Devin Booker, it seems the pair have now crossed the six-month mark, and they continue to be crazy about each other.Another reason why fans didn’t think the couple would be a match, was because they seemed to not share many things in common, which also proved to be wrong as they have been spotted on multiple outings, recently sharing some PDA at Drake’s concert in Los Angeles, going on vacation together (most recently in Puerto Rico), attending basketball games, and exclusive fashion events.Bad Bunny also seems to have a good relationship with the Kardashians, previously seen with them at the Met Gala, and recently spotted having a friendly interaction with Kim Kardashian in a new viral video.

Idaho Tribune accused Lauritzen of being a “left-wing activist” who “follows drag queens on social media, promotes LGBT events, promotes transgenderism, Black Lives Matter, and is active in local politics, promoting liberal ideology.”The outlet also criticized her for liking posts about “social and emotional learning” — a style of learning which has become a bogeyman among conservatives for promoting self-awareness, decision-making, and interpersonal skills — which it classified as “left-wing ideology.”The conservative website Action Idaho went further, speculating that she was pushing a pro-LGBTQ agenda on her students despite the presence of a school district policy restricting teachers from providing instruction or discussion of sexuality or sexual orientation.“Would Lauritzen be happy to cultivate transgender ideologies among your children? Probably,” Idaho Action wrote. “She is getting her PHD in advanced education at University of Idaho, no doubt learning all the latest trends in queer theory and social and emotional learning.”But the press led parents in her rural community in western Idaho to begin emailing her and accusing her of including inappropriate content in her lessons.

Idaho’s law is similar to laws in at least eight other states that have passed laws in recent years barring transgender students from using school facilities matching their gender identity — although it does not go as far as laws in North Dakota and Florida that go beyond schools to prohibit transgender people from accessing gender-affirming restrooms in some or all government buildingsHowever, Idaho’s law does contain what critics have called a “bounty” — in which cisgender students and their parents may sue schools for up to $5,000 if they find a transgender student using facilities that do not match that student’s assigned sex at birth. As a result, the plaintiffs have claimed, the law encourages people to seek out and harass transgender students in the hope of finding them violating the law in exchange for a monetary award.Under the now-blocked law, schools would have been required to provide a “reasonable accommodation” for transgender students unwilling or unable to use restrooms matching their assigned sex at birth.
