Iowa now has its own version of a 'Don't Say Gay' bill, requiring parental consent for nicknames that don't match a kid's 'biological sex'

Business InsiderEinav Rabinovitch-Fox, lecturer of history, said a new “don’t say gay” bill isn’t the first time conservative groups have invoked “parental rights” as a way of setting school policies. “In the past, their solution was to turn to homeschooling or to private education, but what we are seeing today is the insistence to keep the children in school, but to impose specific conservative agendas on the public system,” Rabinovitch-Fox said.
