Teachers in Indiana public schools could be required to tell parents if a student changes their gender identity or preferred name under a bill House committee members approved Monday.
A vociferous crowd lingered outside the House chamber through hours of testimony, cheering opponents of the measure and booing Republican lawmakers who back it.
If a student questions their gender identity to a teacher, "the best answer is, you can talk to your parents," said Micah Clark, executive director of the Indiana Family Association.The parental notification proposal was among several amendments to a bill that started out more closely resembling Florida legislation enacted in March 2022. The so-called "Don’t Say Gay" bill drew intense national scrutiny from those who argue it marginalizes LGBTQ people.
Missouri lawmakers also rejected a more restrictive version of the "Don’t Say Gay" law. A Senate committee in that state voted to advance a measure that would require public school teachers to tell parents if a child "express discomfort or confusion" about their gender identity or if they request to use different pronouns.
