Wisconsin Assembly approves bill guaranteeing parental oversight of children's education

MADISON, WI (AP)— The Wisconsin Assembly has approved a bill that would guarantee parents the right to determine their children's pronouns at school.

The Republican-authored measure would guarantee parents a host of rights, including the right to determine their children's pronouns, receive notice of any surveys or evaluations that would reveal their or their children's political leanings, sexual behavior or illegal behavior, and receive notice of any discussions of gender identity, sexual orientation and racism.

Parents could legally pull their child out of any class that conflicts with their personal convictions.

The Assembly passed the bill 62-35 Thursday, sending it to the Senate.
