School hate crimes targeting LGBTQ+ people have sharply risen in recent years, climbing fastest in states that have passed laws restricting LGBTQ student rights and education, a Washington Post analysis of FBI data finds.
In states with restrictive laws, the number of hate crimes on K-12 campuses has more than quadrupled since the onset of a divisive culture war that has often centered on the rights of LGBTQ+ youth.
I think you are misreading the article or article summary. It is the states where LGBTQ rights are being restricted that have more hate crimes.
I think you’re right. I messed up. I read it as the rights of the LGBTQ were enforced by restricting others.
