Parental Rights Law May Expand to All Grades
March 23, 2023 | Florida
A Florida Board of Education proposal could expand the Parental Rights in Education law related to classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, ABC News reported on Wednesday.
The proposal would expand the current law, which forbids teaching in the classroom of sexual orientation and gender identity in prekindergarten to third grade, to ban such lessons as well in grades 4 through 12 “unless such instruction is either expressly required by state academic standards … or is part of a reproductive health course or health lesson for which a student’s parent has the option to have his or her student not attend.”
A hearing on the proposed policy is scheduled to be held on April 19. (Excerpt from NEWSMAX.)
