Schools would need parent permission for changes to a child's gender markers, pronouns, name, or sex-based spaces.
This bill would make public elementary and middle schools get a parent's OK before changing a child's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on school papers. It also covers changes to shared spaces like locker rooms or bathrooms. This means parents would need to agree to these changes for their kids at schools that get federal money.
Currently, public elementary and middle schools do not need national parental consent for changes to a minor student's gender markers, pronouns, preferred name, or sex-based accommodations. If this bill passes, schools that get federal education money would have to get parental permission for these changes. This applies to school forms and places like locker rooms and bathrooms.
