Bill Summary
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 proposes to amend the existing law to require that any curriculum, school-sanctioned program, or activity primarily involving human sexual education, human sexuality issues, or sexual orientation issues be offered only as clearly identified non-mandatory elective courses. Parents or guardians would need to provide written notification to the school to enroll their children in these elective courses. The bill also requires that instructional materials for these courses be made reasonably accessible for review, and that no public school teacher or administrator be required to participate in such courses that violate their religious beliefs.
