A Georgia state senator is trying to revive a proposal aimed at stopping teachers from talking to students about gender identity without parental permission. Sen.
But opponents say little has changed. Liberals say it remains a thinly veiled attack on LGBTQ+ students, while conservatives say the law is a flawed and unwise attempt to regulate private schools.
Public schools would have to create policies by Jan. 1, 2025, which would determine how the schools would handle issues of gender identity or a child wanting to dress as a different gender. The law would bar any changes to any school records based on a child’s change in gender identity without written parental permission.
Kate Hudson of Atlanta, who founded Education Veritas, a group that says it is fighting against liberal indoctrination in private schools, told state lawmakers they need to regulate private schools. She said the schools are engaged in a “calculated, coordinated, multipronged effort to break down and destroy our society at the expense of our children.”
But other conservatives spurn regulation of private schools. They say the bill unwisely enshrines the concept of gender identity in state law and would let public schools override Georgia’s, which gives every parent “the right to direct the upbringing and the moral or religious training of his or her minor child.”
