Indiana's governor has signed a bill that would require schools to notify a parent if a student requests a name or pronoun change at school.
Indiana's governor on Thursday signed a bill that will require schools to notify a parent if a student requests a name or pronoun change at school, one of the final bills approved in a legislative session that had targeted LGBTQ+ people in the state, especially students.
Recently, Florida Republicans on Wednesday also approved a bill that would prevent students and teachers from being required to use pronouns that don't correspond to someone's sex, a bill Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign into law. Meanwhile, at least 16 states, including Indiana,have banned or restricted access to gender-affirming care such as hormones, puberty blockers, and surgeries.
GOP bill author Rep. Michelle Davis said the law will "ensure Hoosier parents are in the driver's seat when it comes to introducing sensitive topics to their kids."
