Texas · 89th Legislature Regular Session
HB344Relating to a prohibition on instruction and certain activities regarding sexual orientation or gender identity provided or allowed by a public school.
Prohibits public schools from providing or allowing instruction, guidance, activities or programming on gender identity to K-12 students, so less school recognition of or support for transgender students' gender identity.
a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or district or charter school employee may not provide or allow a third party to provide instruction, guidance, activities, or programming regarding sexual orientation or gender identity to students enrolled in prekindergarten through 12th grade.
Prohibits public schools from providing or allowing instruction, guidance, activities or programming on sexual orientation or gender identity to K-12 students, so less school recognition of or support for LGBTQ students' identities.
a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or district or charter school employee may not provide or allow a third party to provide instruction, guidance, activities, or programming regarding sexual orientation or gender identity to students enrolled in prekindergarten through 12th grade.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds Education Code §28.0041 to ban K-12 public schools and their employees from providing or allowing any instruction, guidance, activities or programming on sexual orientation or gender identity (with narrow First Amendment and health-services exceptions). This directly limits school policies and recognition related to gender identity (transgender/education) and sexual orientation (transgender/other). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
