Summary

The bill mandates that any public school curriculum on human sexuality or sexually transmitted diseases must stress abstinence, monogamous relationships, and forbid instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation. It bars such instruction for students in grade five and below and requires written parental consent and advance notice for students in grade six and higher, while also requiring specific fetal‑development videos for health classes. Parents may inspect all instructional materials and schools must offer an alternative program for students whose parents do not consent.
