Texas Republican lawmaker Lance Gooden has introduced a bill dubbed the “Protecting Innocence in Education Act,” preventing the Biden administration from forcing states and schools to force instruction in gender identity and sex education in elementary schools.
The measure would also prevent the Biden admin from fining schools not in compliance with any federal sex or gender education requirements.
Gooden told Fox News “Elementary school teachers should not be sexualizing or confusing our children by teaching them an un-scientific gender identity and sex education curriculum.”
“Parents have a right to decide what their child learns at school, and Congress must stand up to the Biden Administration’s radical agenda,” he adds.
Gooden tweeted Sunday:
Teachers should teach.
Disney should entertain.
The Left’s woke politics should stay out of both.

Named the "Protecting Innocence in Education Act," the legislation would protect schools from punitive action or denial of funding over non-compliance with federal regulations or requirements on sex ed, according to Fox News.https://t.co/yyDbELLpzT
