Critics have said the proposal bears resemblance to HB 105, a bill put forward by Gov. Mike Dunleavy, who maintains the bill would strengthen parental rights in the Alaska school system.
Along with a crowd of people in red — part of a rally behind continued teacher contract negotiations — many residents spoke out against potential policy changes, particularly those involving gender identity discussions.
“These policy changes are not just unconstitutional, but they’re un-Alaskan. No government should be able to tell our youth what books they can or cannot read or how to express themselves; that’s the parent’s job.”“When I come back to our hometown and hear the suffering and exclusion of queer and trans people, especially our students and our children, my heart is broken,” said Jessi Saiki, a former Mat-Su student. “I want love and respect for the people of the Valley too.
“We already know that this is a population of kids who are under an immense risk of self-harm, mental health deterioration, and so in our view, this doesn’t really uphold the district’s obligation to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for every student,” Garvey said.
