Relative to parental options of enrolling children in elective courses involving sexual education rather than opting out of mandatory courses. Education.
AI Summary
This bill amends state law to require that any curriculum, school-sanctioned program, or activity primarily involving human sexual education, sexuality issues, or sexual orientation be offered only as non-mandatory elective courses, with written parental or guardian notification and opt-in required for enrollment. The bill also requires that instructional materials be made reasonably accessible for review, and it exempts teachers and administrators from participation in such programs if they violate their religious beliefs.
