(6,638 posts)...the article says:
"The Parental Rights in Education Act, passed last year and known by critics as Dont Say Gay, prohibits educators from teaching about gender and sexual identity in kindergarten through third grade"
So educators can't teach where the "Boys" & "Girls" restrooms are & can't tell their students which one to use? This Act basically says kids can use the opposite-sex bathrooms & teachers can't stop them because that would be teaching about gender, right?
