Iowa Students To Walk Out Over Anti-LGBTQ Bills

The Des Moines Register reports:

Students at 14 Iowa public school districts and one university are planning to walk out of class Wednesday to protest bills introduced in the Iowa Legislature that they say discriminate against the rights of LGBTQ+ people.

Student organizers are particularly concerned about bills that would require educators to notify parents and guardians if a student is transgender, as well as a bill prohibiting the teaching of gender identity and sexual orientation to students through sixth-grade.

Gov. Kim Reynolds has pushed a “parental control” agenda for public education, saying “woke” policy decisions by school districts are undermining parents.
