Missouri public school teachers would be required to tell parents if their children question their gender identity under a bill advanced Tuesday in the state Senate.
K-12 school staff would be required to notify parents if students “express discomfort or confusion” about their gender identity under the bill, which passed a Senate education committee. One Republican joined Democrats in voting against it.
K-12 school staff would also have to inform students’ guardians within a day if students ask to use different pronouns.
