MicheleV_AK<p>Alaska's version of "don't say gay" bill<br />"Under the umbrella of “parental rights,” H.B. 105, addresses sexual education, pronoun use for students, locker room and bathroom use by students and more clearly outlines what parents are entitled to when it comes to schools.</p><p>Currently, Alaska parents are able to opt their children out of school activities or classes that include content about human reproduction or sexual matters. H.B. 105 would require parents to provide written permission for their children to participate in programs with that content, which would newly include “gender identity” as well.</p><p>Further, H.B. 105 would require written permission from a student’s parent before the name or pronouns the school uses to address that student is changed. The bill would also require parents to be notified in writing about their right to pursue legal action against a school district if they suspect their parental rights have been violated."<br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NoOnHB105" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NoOnHB105</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NorthernLightsPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NorthernLightsPlus</span></a> <br /><a href="https://www.peninsulaclarion.com/news/peninsula-voices-among-parental-rights-debate-in-juneau/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">peninsulaclarion.com/news/peni</span><span class="invisible">nsula-voices-among-parental-rights-debate-in-juneau/</span></a></p>
