Parents in Iowa may be allowed to excuse their kids from lessons involving LGBTQ issues, if a proposed bill progresses. The bill would require school districts to notify parents about any instruction regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.
The bill, House File 2201, was introduced last month and has been advancing in the Iowa legislature. It's currently sitting in a House subcommittee. Sponsored by 13 House Republicans, it would require school districts to annually notify parents about any instruction regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. That would give them the chance to pull their children from participating and allowing them to inspect the materials used ahead of time.
"Teachers, rightly, have raised concerns about what would and would not need parental approval, citing examples as fundamental as whether or not they could mention that presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is making history as an openly gay presidential candidate," Fowler said in a statement.She continued,"The bill also would marginalize and discriminate against LGBTQ students by mandating that they and their sexual orientation or gender identity must be hidden and not discussed.
