Schools would lose federal money if they counsel students under 18 on gender identity without parents knowing.
This bill would stop public elementary and secondary schools from getting federal money if they offer counseling about gender identity to students under 18. It would also prevent school staff from helping students hide this information from their parents. Parents would gain the power to sue schools that break these rules.
Currently, federal law does not stop public schools from offering gender identity counseling to students under 18, nor does it prevent staff from helping students keep this information from parents. If this bill passes, public elementary and secondary schools would lose federal funding if they engage in these activities. Parents would also be able to sue schools that do not follow these new rules.
