HB 1608, an Indiana 'Don't Say Gay' bill, could require teachers to tell parents if a student changes their gender identity or preferred name.
Teachers in Indiana public schools could be required to tell parents if a student changes their gender identity or preferred name under a bill House committee members approved Monday.
Opponents of the bill - which lawmakers voted 9-4 to send to the full House for consideration - said it would alienate LGBTQ students, particularly transgender youth, and possibly force kids to come out to their parents. Supporters argued the legislation would empower parents to choose how their children are raised.
The original Indiana bill would have prohibited teachers from teaching kindergarteners to third graders about topics related to gender identity and sexuality. It was amended limit the banned topics solely to sexual education - something already uncommon in early grades.
