AL.com reports:

The Alabama House of Representatives has passed a bill to expand a ban on teachers providing instruction or classroom discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools.

HB130 by Rep. Mack Butler, R-Rainbow City, would expand the ban that now applies from kindergarten through fifth grade to apply through 8th grade. The ban was first passed in 2022 and was similar to a law passed in Florida that opponents called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

The House approved Butler’s bill 74-25 after a long discussion Tuesday, with Republicans voting in favor of it and Democrats opposed. The bill moves to the Senate.

Read the full article. Rep. Mack Butler also added the state-run Space Camp to the bill, which was originally written to include grades K-12. According to Butler, the change to K-8 came due to a request by state education officials. Butler first appeared here in 2017 for his successful bill to protect Confederate monuments.
