Louisiana advances bill restricting discussions of sexual orientation, gender identity in schools
Fox News
A bill that bans K-12 educators from talking about sexual orientation and gender identity in school has advanced to the GOP-dominated Senate in Louisiana.
The latest measure, which passed in the House 67-28 and advanced to the GOP-dominated Senate, is legislation that would broadly ban K-12 public school staff from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity in school and during extracurricular activities "in a manner that deviates from state content standards or curricula developed or approved by the public school governing authority." Additionally, the bill would require teachers to use a student’s name and pronouns that align with their sex assigned at birth.
Proponents of the bill say that it will "protect children" and allow parents to decide how and when to broach the subjects of sexual orientation and gender identity. Those opposing it argued that the bill is a targeted attack on the LGBTQ+ community and could harm an already vulnerable group.
