Lawmakers in Louisiana advanced several bills that would limit gender theory, stop the use of 'preferred pronouns,' and limit bathrooms to biological sex.
The Louisiana House Education Committee and full House approved a variety of K-12 and university-level education reforms on Wednesday for the state, dealing with subjects ranging from gender-related instruction to allowing parents to use tax dollars for private school.
The measure, however, does not appear to have an enforcement mechanism or a system for reporting teachers who violate the law, but Horton said those determinations would be made by school boards themselves. Another gender ideology restriction passed the House Education Committee 9-3, which blocks teachers from using the preferred names and pronouns of students claiming transgender identity. It instead would require students to use the names and pronouns that appear on their birth certificates.
