Update: Virginia Democrat who praised LGBTQ+ inclusion is now helping Republicans out trans kids

Republicans in the House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday with the help of eight Democrats that, if approved by the Senate and signed into law by President Donald Trump, would force teachers across the country to out transgender kids to their parents. It would also ban schools nationwide from acknowledging that transgender people even exist.

The “Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act,” also known as H.R. 2616, passed by a vote of 217 to 198. All 209 Republicans who voted supported the measure, joined by eight Democrats. Meanwhile, 198 Democrats voted against the bill.

The text of H.R. 2616 says it would prohibit any school that receives federal funding from teaching “concepts related to gender ideology.” LGBTQ+ advocates warn the legislation could effectively bar teachers and school staff from acknowledging transgender identities in classrooms, libraries, or student support settings. Earlier versions and related House proposals also explicitly categorized material involving “gender dysphoria or transgenderism” as inherently “sexual,” language critics argued, which treated the mere existence of trans people as inappropriate for children. It could also forcibly out students who are transgender to their families before they feel ready, or even safe, doing so.

The Democrats are scared! Everywhere you read in the news that their loss was our fault. But remember one thing... "It is the economy stupid!"

What is HR 2616, the “Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act?” This bill differs from HR 7661, the national book ban bill, introduced by Illinois Republican House representative Mary Miller (a fan of Hitler). The two bills are closely aligned, especially as Republicans expanded HR 2616 in light of several other anti-LGBTQ+, and specifically anti-trans, education bills.

Under the guise of protecting “parental rights”–which parents’ rights being the question, of course–HR 2616 requires that any school receiving federal funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 require parental permission before using a student’s preferred gender, pronouns, or name on any school form or allowing them to use the bathroom or locker room that most aligns with their identity. The bill also prohibits teaching “gender ideology” in public schools receiving federal funding, as defined in Trump’s Executive Order 14168. Executive Orders aren’t laws, and in today’s conspiracy-as-fact landscape, it’s especially concerning that the targets are children.

We have to show the voters what this is... A Red Herring" that out of around 54 million total K-12 students, there are approximately 725,000 who identify as transgender! That is somewhere around 1%!!!!

This bill forcibly outs kids to their parents, regardless of how dangerous the situation would be for the child. It would also limit what can and cannot be taught in classrooms, inevitably meaning the wholesale elimination of concepts from the curriculum and the removal of swaths of books from classrooms and libraries. Trans people and trans history would be banned. As has been said from the beginning of the race to ban books in 2021, none of this has been about the books themselves. It’s been about the eradication of people that don’t slot into the imagined cishet, white Christian ideal. Bullying trans children allows grown adults to feel good, even if it doesn’t provide any solutions to the actual problems in contemporary America.

The bill is spiteful and hurtful and does exactly what the Republicans want... divert the voter from all the crisis now going on in this.

Go after them for passing this bill and ignoring... high gas prices, high food prices... the war in Iran! They put this on the fast track to divert the voters from the real problems and get them mad at us and not them!
