'PARENTS BILL OF RIGHTS:' BILL INTRODUCED AT STATE CAPITOL

A bill has been introduced at the state capitol to require parents to opt into sexual education classes for their children.

The legislation would also prohibit certain things like gender identity from being taught in public schools.

The bill sparked bipartisan debate in the House’s General Government Committee Tuesday morning.

Right now, parents can choose for their kids to opt out of sex education classes if they don’t feel that the language is appropriate. However, the legislation would require parents to opt into those classes if they want their child to be taught any kind of sexual education.
