TL;DR Summary

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has signed a new education law that bans books with descriptions or depictions of sex acts and restricts teaching about LGBTQ topics. The law also requires schools to notify parents if a student requests to use new pronouns and enshrines the "constitutionally protected right" for parents to make decisions for their children. Democrats have opposed the bill, saying it is an attack on LGBTQ Iowans, while LGBTQ advocacy groups have condemned the law as discriminatory and harmful. The new laws make far-reaching changes to Iowa's education system, from the way administrators handle classroom violence to the makeup of the state's teacher licensing board.
