H.R. 2616: PROTECT Kids Act would force transgender students to publicly out themselves to their school and their parents. The bill would require public elementary and middle schools that receive funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to obtain parental consent before changing a minor’s gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on any school form or sex-based accommodations, including locker rooms or bathrooms.
On April 29, lawmakers voted 216-210 along party lines to advance a rule allowing consideration of the bill, along with several other measures, including an agriculture funding package, budget proposals, a Clean Air Act amendment, and legislation addressing misidentified American-Jewish service members buried overseas.
The rule allows consideration of the PROTECT Kids Act under a closed process, with one hour of debate, meaning no amendments can be offered before an up-or-down vote. A final vote is expected in the coming weeks, Metro Weekly reports.
H.R. 2617 Say No to Indoctrination Act: would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to prevent the use of funds under such Act to teach or advance concepts related to “gender ideology”,and for other purposes.
This bill would require public schools to follow trump’s toxic anti transgender executive orders or risk losing federal funding.
HR 2617 has a 60% chance of being enacted according to Gov.track.
