from The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth suicide prevention and intervention group, which found that 42 percent of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide last year.In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Buttigieg said lawmakers and educators should be approaching that statistic from the Trevor Project"with urgency and with compassion and care."
It's unclear exactly what kinds of discussions would be prohibited by the bill and exactly what grade levels would be affected, but the exact text broadly prohibits school districts"from encouraging classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels." Parents who believe a school district has violated the measure can sue for injunctive relief, damages, attorney fees and court costs.
