A Republican lawmaker has filed a bill to prohibit discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in some Utah classrooms.
would prohibit adult-led discussions "on sexuality, including sexual orientation or gender identity" in kindergarten through third grade classes, and requires that such discussions be "age or developmentally appropriate" for older students.
Stenquist said the idea for the bill came from a constituent who said her child's teacher "was introducing a few topics of discussion in the classroom that she felt were a little inappropriate." As far as what is age-appropriate, Stenquist said "that's up to the local schools and school districts." Creating and enforcing policies would be up to the local schools and districts.
"It seems kind of strange when we've already gone down this path," Equality Utah policy director Marina Lowe told KSL.com. "We had litigation around the topic, and then the Legislature of its own accord went ahead and repealed that language. So we were somewhat surprised to see Utah going down this path again."
