May 6, 2024 Group Watch: Bills Restricting Discussion of LGBTQ Topics in Public Schools Advance
Two bills that would limit LGBTQ topics and sex education in Alabama classrooms are advancing for a final vote in the legislature. A Senate committee voted along party lines to approve a bill that would update the state’s sex education curriculum and another that would prevent K-8 grade teachers from discussing LGBTQ topics in the classroom. Since 2021, at least 22 states have considered legislation limiting in-school discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity, according to Education Week.
