  1. The US House has passed H.R. 2616, or the Stopping Indoctrintation and Protecting Kids Act.

    docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/2

    This law would require any elementary or middle school receiving Federal funds obtain parental consent before recognizing a student's self-identification with a gender or name different from their sex assigned at birth and legal name.

    This parallels similar laws in many states.

    This law would place teachers in the difficult position of either outting transgender children to their parents, or deadnaming and misgendering transgender children.
    This would also make it significantly more difficult to children to explore their gender identities.

    The law also prohibits use of Federal funds to teach what the law refers to as gender ideology, as defined by Executive Order 14168.
    EO 14168, titled "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government", defines gender ideology vaguely, and does not address how it should be taught in schools. It describes gender ideology as the belief that a person's gender can be different from their sex assigned at birth.

    The exact implications of this restriction are unclear. This would prevent schools from teaching sex education courses which mention transgender people, but could in theory also apply to courses about history, anatomy, and other fields.
    For example, would this law prevent schools from teaching about notable transgender historical figures?

    In a statement, the ACLU condemned the bill, calling it dangerous and censorship.

    There is still time, and it's important to call your representatives, today about this; the vote on this has been postponed, but Republicans can try to sneak it in again at any time. Remind them why they should absolutely vote not.
