SB 1072 by Hughes: Protecting Parental Rights

SB 1072 seeks to require public schools to adopt a policy regarding whether an employee may discuss human sexuality with a student outside of a class dedicated to such purposes as well as requires a public school to adopt a policy on when extracurricular events related to human sexuality may be held. SB 1072 also allows the Texas Attorney General or a County/District Attorney to bring a cause of action against a school that violates such provisions. The government school system should not have the ability to disregard parental rights over sex education curricula. For this reason, TFR supports SB 1072.
