House Passes Trump-Backed Bill Protecting Parental Rights From Woke Schools

“Schools are facilitating gender transitions or encouraging their students to change their names and pronouns without telling parents. These are enormously consequential decisions that have lasting impacts on a child’s well-being and development,” he added.

Several high-profile disputes have emerged recently involving school districts accused of helping students conceal their transgender status from parents, leading to multiple lawsuits nationwide.

Last month, The Post reported on a lawsuit against a school district in Connecticut over a policy stating that schools “should not disclose information that may reveal a student’s transgender status or gender nonconforming presentation to others, including parents/families/legal guardians.”

Under the House-passed legislation — also known as the PROTECT Kids Act — schools would be required to obtain parental consent before changing a student’s gender markers in school records or allowing the student to use bathrooms or locker rooms designated for the opposite sex.
