Schools are legally required to follow Title IX if they receive any federal funding (99% do), which should cover protecting children from hate speech. It's not that children will get in trouble for saying hate speech, it's that the institution will get in trouble if it allows hate speech. At least I think it's title IX.
I'm pretty surprised that deadnaming isn't already protected speech everywhere in the US honestly

Cool. So is Montana not bound by Title IX then, or are they willing to give up on receiving public funds?

Some states/cities/school districts protect trans kids.
