Share Your Questions about SB49, North Carolina’s ‘Don’t Say LGBTQ+’ Bill
The North Carolina General Assembly is poised to pass SB49, a bill that censors curriculum and discussion of any topics related to LGBTQ+ identity. This bill is aimed at interfering with students’ freedom to read, learn, and be themselves at school in North Carolina. SB49 targets educators, healthcare professionals, and LGBTQ+ youth and families, with several major restrictions: (1) mandatory reporting if a child comes out as transgender and gender non-conforming, (2) forcing teachers to make curriculum and lesson plans available for review by parents (3) prohibiting teaching on LGBTQ+ topics in school classroom curriculum from grades K-4.
