A bill under consideration by an Iowa Senate subcommittee would require school districts to notify parents of their student’s preferred pronoun.
Senate File 80 stipulates that if a student is asked by a school employee or in a school communication or survey to identify the pronoun by which they prefer to be called, they provide written notification of such action to the parent or guardian of the student at least one week before such action occurs. District 42 State Senator Jeff Reichman (R) isn’t clear at this point whether he supports the legislation, “Back in my day we had a movie in biology class that was ‘Where Do Babies Come From?’ And that was the extent of it, and I really think that schools need to stay out of this, any ‘identity’ I think is between the parent and the child, whatever it is, and they can notify the school, I don’t think it should be the other way around.”
