A proposed parental rights bill in Georgia would block educators from discussing gender identity and prevent them from keeping a child's gender identity from their parents.
Georgia lawmaker's proposal
Still, Summers defended the primary focus of the legislation. He said a law is necessary to prevent teachers from promoting ideas about changing gender identity to their students and to stop teachers from hiding a student's gender identity change from their parents. The bill currently states that school faculty and staff cannot seek or provide information about sex or a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity without written permission from parents. The measure also prohibits public and private schools from changing records of a child’s name, sex or gender without written permission from parents.that prevent teachers from discussing gender identity and sexual orientation with students, although the Georgia bill is limited only to gender identity.
Summers said he is considering scrapping the portions of the bill on opting out of sex education and prohibiting sexually provocative attire. "This teacher is going to wonder, 'Am I allowed to talk to my student about a class that I taught?'" Costley said. "I don't think any educators going to get up and say, ‘Yeah, we want to proselytize kids,’" Costley said.
