Limiting a school’s ability to reference gender identity or sexual orientation violates a basic trust that all students, including LGBTQ+ students, can learn and thrive in a safe environment. It controls what students can and cannot read, what they can and cannot learn, and — most troublingly — who they can and cannot be.

About the Bill

HB 1312 attempts to silence discussions of gender and sexuality in the classroom by implementing a two-week advance notice of any curriculum including those topics. When LGBTQ+ youth feel support, acceptance, and open representation within their homes, schools and communities, they have much better mental health, educational and social outcomes.
