North Carolina lawmakers have finalized legislation touted by Republicans as giving parents greater authority over their children's public school education and health care
These bills comprise a one-sided culture war by those who aren’t willing to accept the rapid expansion of LGBTQ+ rights, said Sen. Lisa Grafstein, a Wake County Democrat and LGBTQ+ lawmaker. She mentioned children and parents who have fought against the bills during this year’s session and have said the measures will stoke fear among trans youth and other students.
Some parents' groups and social conservatives have pushed for the latest measure, at times pointing to books in schools on LGBTQ+ topics that they consider obscene and difficulties during the pandemic learning about what their children were being taught. Galey said some public school systems and schools have policies to withhold information from parents about their child seeking to change pronouns or their name in the interest of protecting youth.
The bill says the definition of curriculum does “not include responses to student-initiated questions.”
