Texas teachers and students wouldn’t be able to discuss sexual orientation or gender identity in classrooms under proposals that could create a ban as strict...
Texas would restrict any kind of educator guidance, lessons or campus activities on such topics in public schools under the bill that Republican leaders say is part of their ongoing push for parental rights.
A separate bill, for example, builds on last session’s steps to reform the way public schools review and adopt human sexuality curriculum and instruction. It would ensure educators couldn’t “disregard these parental rights over sex ed curriculum” by offering clubs or extracurricular events where such topics are discussed, Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, said in a recent hearing.
Johnathon Gooch, communication director of Equality Texas, worries that the provision’s vague language could create confusion among teachers on whether they can address any LGBTQ topics, such as the Stonewall riots, the struggle for equality or the fight for marriage equality. He said teachers across all grades skirt any related topics to avoid losing their jobs. Some families are opting to move out of the state because they don’t find it welcoming anymore, he added.
