Parental Consent Required for Student Gender Identity Affirmation in Schools.
This bill mandates that elementary and secondary schools receiving federal funds must obtain express parental consent before facilitating any form of gender transition or affirmation for students under 18 whose asserted gender identity conflicts with their biological sex. Schools are prohibited from changing names, pronouns, or facility usage without parental knowledge and explicit permission. Parents gain the right to sue schools that violate these requirements, and non-compliant schools risk losing federal funding.
