New Hampshire Democrats shot down a bill on Thursday that would have required schools to inform parents about their child’s gender identity, The Associated Press reported.
Senate Bill (SB) 272 would have established a “parents’ bill of rights” that would require schools to tell an inquiring parent if their child goes by a different name or gender that is inconsistent with their enrollment records, its text reads. It was defeated in a 195-190 House of Representative vote on Thursday after Democrats weakened it with several “poison pill” amendments and two Republican lawmakers crossed party lines, the AP reported.
The bill maintained that “parents have a fundamental right and responsibility to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their minor children” and that schools cannot “withhold information about a child,” according to its text. It clarified that “it is a child’s parents who have the responsibility, means, and resources to ensure that a child receives appropriate health care, social support, religious guidance, and moral inculcation to develop into happy and productive members of society.”
Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu had vowed to veto a similar bill in 2022 that would have expanded parental oversight of classroom curriculum and increased ability to sue school officials, but the bill was killed in the state House before reaching his desk, according to New Hampshire Public Radio. He said on Wednesday that he supported the new bill, AP reported.
SB 272 previously passed in the state Senate in March, the AP reported. It cannot be revisited during the current legislative session, as it was voted in the state House to be “indefinitely postpone[d].”

if libs can’t kill them before being born, then they try to corrupt and twist them. I will never back down on my personal statement that Democrats and liberals are pure evil and satans right hand on the earthly plain.
Assistant democrats always come out of the woodwork when needed.
I may have to answer for a multitude of sins, but that won’t be one of them........................
If it was a FELONY Nationwide for Public Employee’s to NOT send their children to the public school system, this crap would end overnight.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Children should not be told to keep secrets.
This is the main tactic pedophiles use to coerce children who are sexually abused. Adults who push trans ideology are predators.
No Secrets!!
Alert for all you blissful grazers & shoulder shruggers...
Personally....I **shun**government teachers!
They are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a useful idiot to be a friend.
With all the outrages of government schooling where are the voices of those “good” teachers everyone seems to know?
Gee, if the teachers have nothing to hide what are they afraid of?
