A controversial bill described by supporters as giving parents more control over their children's education isbeing slammed by education and LGBTQ groups as anti-gay, anti-transgender legislation.
"I don’t want us to get further and further and closer and closer to the infamous legislation in the state of Florida, the so-called 'Don’t Say Gay' bill," Rep. Jessica Miranda, D-Forest Park, said. "This is dangerous for education here in Ohio."
House Bill 8 began as a bill requiring schools to notify parents before teaching any "sexually explicit instructional materials." Districts also had to disclose student health and wellness information to parents "unless that disclosure would result in abuse, abandonment, or neglect."

It does not belong in schools.
This is getting ridiculous, either abolish the public school system or go to a Voucher system that allows parents to choose any school they wish with their education dollars.
Good for Ohio. Queers leave the kids alone.
I don't see a problem. Evidently, the libs think that if they can't kill the kids before they are born then they can steal them and indoctrinate them!
In other words, “WE WANT YOUR CHILDREN!”
anti freak show?
good.
they can all go to california and stay there
The kids were always the objective. At the very least brain wash them but the real hope is to groom them. The pushback took way too long and it’s not strong enough but some are trying. This stuff really got going with the AIDS crap. It was used to get a foothold into the schools under the guise of health education and it began the long push to normalize every perversion imaginable
Roger Waters, is probably punching himself in the face.
I know . . I think it’s wonderful
“A controversial bill described by supporters as giving parents more control over their children’s education is being slammed by education and LGBTQ groups as anti-gay, anti-transgender legislation.”
They’re really telling on themselves
Why do LGBTQXYZ people feel the need to be in our face? What about heterosexual pride?
Lol, “controversial.” It’s now controversial to want to keep sick weirdos away from your kids.
Speaking as a normal Ohioan, I certainly hope so!
Note also the bill should have no hope in the Senate or with the Administration and is central to the life of the Democrat Party. Below is a link to the text of the bill, but I have excerpted some of the egregious provisions in case you don’t want to read the bill’s text.
I like particularly the finding that “The right of parents to educate their children is a pre-political natural right that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized as ‘beyond debate’ and rooted in the ‘history and culture of Western civilization’.”

Congress finds the following:
“(1) The right of parents to educate their children is a pre-political natural right that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized as ‘beyond debate’ and rooted in the ‘history and culture of Western civilization’.
“(2) Parents have a First Amendment right to express their opinions on decisions made by State and local education leaders.
“(3) States and local educational agencies should empower parents to communicate regularly with Federal, State, and local policymakers and educators regarding the education and well-being of their children.

Well, somebody needs to.
So, what is the problem?
