Republican lawmakers in Florida are proposing bills that will prevent staff from addressing students with pronouns other than the ones they were assigned at birth
, proposed by Rep. Rita Harris, a Democrat, would allow school staff to refer to a child by their preferred pronouns if their parent sends in a note in writing.
Parents of transgender children voiced their support for the amendment. “These laws invade our privacy as [my son] would be forced to start the fifth grade as a gender that no one knows him as,” said one mother, Shannen Callahan, during the bill’s House Choice and Innovation Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday.
Sex ed teachers would only be able to teach about reproductive health using materials approved by the Department of Education, instead of the district school board. The legislation would also require every district school board to create an objection form that would allow any resident of the county to complain about any instructional material used in class, if it “depicts or describes any sexual conduct.”
