The Epoch Times Reports: Legislation protecting a parent’s right to block the use of gender pronouns and other gender ideology in public schools is either pending or has already passed in all but three U.S. states.

Of the states where legislation is being heavily watched is the state of New Hampshire, where more than 200 people turned out this past week in support of proposed parental rights legislation.

NH Republican Dan Innis, who is gay, told The Epoch Times that he believes rising support for parental rights bills are because the transgender movement targeting children and the move to cut their parents out of the process “goes just too far,” even for many liberals.

“These bills are being labeled as anti-trans, but nothing could be further from the truth. What they are is pro-family, pro-child,” Innis said. “Their purpose is to put these major life decisions, major life changes, where they belong, and that’s in the family between the parents and the children.”

Teachers unions and some LGBTQ organizations, however, have warned that the parental rights bills are creating “dangerous situations” for kids by depriving those suffering from gender dysphoria of a trusted adult at school to confide in and not challenge them.



“We need our students to feel safe at school and to have their school be a place they feel welcome,” said Deb Howes, president of the American Federation of Teachers, New Hampshire (AFT-NH), in a written testimony against Senate Bill SB 272.
