On Tuesday, while the U.S. House of Representatives was in disarray due to Republican infighting, a lawmaker in Texas introduced his version of a “don’t say gay” law.
State Rep. Jared Patterson’s bill, HB 1155, requires schools to disclose all information related to student's mental health information to parents, which exposes children to being forced out of the closet by school officials and adds language to the state’s education code that would restrict the instruction of topics on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The bill’s text reads, “A school district, open-enrollment charter school, or district or charter school employee may not provide or allow a third party to provide instruction regarding sexual orientation or gender identity: (1) to students enrolled in kindergarten through eighth grade, or (2) in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate.”
In a statement on his website, Patterson touts his bill as an improved version of Florida’s draconian Parental Rights in Education Law, more often referred to as the “don’t say gay” law.
