Stephanie Borowicz, a conservative Pennsylvania House member has introduced legislation to ban discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in public school classrooms, arguing the measure is necessary to protect the states youth from indoctrination.
Borowicz has argued that measures to ban topics including sexual orientation and gender identity from the classroom should extend through high school.
It needs to really be protected all the way up to twelfth grade, she said. We need to go all the way.
Borowiczs legislation would also give parents greater latitude to withhold consent or decline a health care service offered by their childs school and would bar public school administrators, faculty or staff from encouraging students to withhold information about their mental or physical health from their parents.
This is a bill to protect our children from gender ideology and sexual orientation being taught in our childrens school the same nonsense that is now on the Department of Educations website, Borowicz said last week.
