In the “State of Hate” Tennessee, Senate lawmakers moved Monday (5 April) to let parents and guardians opt their kids out of LGBT-inclusive curriculums.
SB 1229 requires local education authorities and public charter schools to alert parents and guardians in advance whether a class will teach about LGBT+ lives.
They will be told at least 30 days ahead of the class if teaching materials will include anything about gender identity or sexual orientation, regardless of whether or not the class is part of a sex education program.
And a clause that has fuelled alarm among advocacy groups, the right for them to excuse their children from any of these classes – and schools can do nothing to stop them.
