Lawmakers in Nebraska proposed three amendments including one to give the governor more control over educational policies. Many people testified against the amendment at a hearing.
No one showed up at public hearings Tuesday to support legislative proposals that would givemore control over the state's K-12 policies, while many people testified against the measures, with most citing a fear of politicizing basic education protocols.
A proposed amendment floated by Omaha Sen. Lou Ann Linehan would have the governor appoint the Nebraska education commissioner, who is currently selected by eight members of the Nebraska Board of Education. Another by Linehan would see the governor appoint all members of state Education Board — who are currently elected by the people.
The third proposal, by Sen. Joni Albrecht, of Thurston, would disband the state Education Board altogether.Albrecht cited her disapproval of a state Education Department's health standards plan in 2021 that would have included gender identity lessons in public school curriculum. The plan was largely scrapped after an uproar from conservatives who argued that the topics weren’t appropriate for children.
