North Carolina House Limits LGBTQ+ Education in Final Session Days.

Legislation that would limit LGBTQ+ instruction in North Carolina public schools and require teachers to out transgender kids to their parents gained momentum after months of inaction as state legislators race to push policies across the finish line before the session ends. The bill would also prohibit instruction about gender identity and sexuality in K-4 classrooms, which critics have likened to the Florida law that opponents call “Don’t Say Gay.” LGBTQ+ youth and their supporters say it would destroy the trust between teachers and students, making schools unsafe spaces for them to explore their identities at their own pace.
