NPR, our - yes our - tax funded radio network describes it as a "bill labeled 'don't say gay' by critics." Of course, nothing in the language of the bill says "don't say gay" or anything like that.
Here is what the bill itself says that it does:
GENERAL BILL by Judiciary Committee ; Education and Employment Committee ; Harding ; (CO-INTRODUCERS) Borrero ; Fernandez-Barquin ; Fine ; Latvala ; Maggard ; Roach ; Roth ; Snyder
Parental Rights in Education; Requires district school boards to adopt procedures that comport with certain provisions of law for notifying student's parent of specified information; requires such procedures to reinforce fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding upbringing & control of their children; prohibits school district from adopting procedures or student support forms that prohibit school district personnel from notifying parent about specified information or that encourage student to withhold from parent such information; prohibits school district personnel from discouraging or prohibiting parental notification & involvement in critical decisions affecting student's mental, emotional, or physical well-being; prohibits classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels; requires school districts to notify parents of healthcare services; authorizes parent to bring action against school district to obtain declaratory judgment; provides for additional award of injunctive relief, damages, & reasonable attorney fees & court costs to certain parents.
So a better label for this bill would be the "don't cut parents out of their children's lives" bill.
Is the teaching profession really ruined if teachers are not allowed to blurt the word "gay," over and over like Tourette's patients? Are LGBT-etc. students really endangered if teachers are not allowed to talk about sexual orientation or gender identity to kindergarten pupils? What about teachers focus on math and reading? You think that the Asian countries who consistently smoke American students in standardized test allow their teachers to obsess over gender fluidity?
