House passes bill requiring parental consent for student gender changes in schools
The House voted 217-198 on Wednesday to pass the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, which would require federally funded elementary and middle schools to obtain parental consent before changing a student's pronouns, preferred name, or sex-based accommodations. Eight Democrats crossed party lines to vote with Republicans; the bill's supporters argue parents deserve transparency in decisions affecting children's well-being.
