Republican state lawmakers released an extensive bill to give parents more authority over their children’s education, making it easier for them to access instructional materials, prosecute librarians and remove superintendents.
The bill also requires schools to inform parents if their child begins identifying as a different gender — a measure that was already included in the legislature’s proposed Parents’ Bill of Rights. Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed that last week, though an override is likely by the Republican supermajority.
I think it does aim to outlaw mental health care to any and all children. Many conservatives don’t believe in mental health care and view those that seek it as weak.
That does sound like something weak people would project onto others. I’ll give you that much.
