EXCLUSIVE: SenatorTimScott pushes to ban federal funds from schools with 'secretive' gender transitions
The senator introduced the Protect Kids Act Tuesday, which would require any school receiving federal funding to seek and obtain consent from a student's parent prior to changing the child's name on official documents. The funding ban would also apply to schools that don't receive parental consent before addressing the student by pronouns apart from their biological sex or allowing the student to use different bathroom and locker room facilities.Washington Examiner.
"A quality education requires input from those who know children best: their parents. Sadly, radical and secretive gender policies have shut parents out of the conversation and broken their trust." The bill's text specifically cited an incident in Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, where teachers were instructed on how students were allowed to change their name and pronouns in school settings without parental notification or consent.and was an extension of the school district's policy regarding transgender students.
The Fairfax County Public Schools program caught the attention of Gov. Glenn Youngkin , who blasted the training last month, saying"progressives in Fairfax County actually believe that they should lock parents out of their children's lives."
