Requires schools to get parent permission for gender transition support for kids under 18.
This bill would require elementary and secondary schools that get federal money to get parents' permission before helping a child under 18 with any gender transition steps. It also stops school staff from hiding information from parents or encouraging kids to keep secrets about their gender identity. This would give parents more control over these decisions at school.
Today, some schools might help students with gender transition steps, such as changing names or pronouns, without always telling parents or getting their consent. If this bill passes, schools that get federal money would have to get parents' express permission first for any such actions for students under 18. School staff would also be forbidden from keeping this information from parents or encouraging students to keep it secret.
