The Alabama Reflector reports:
An Alabama House committee approved legislation to expand the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” law throughout K-12 public schools on Wednesday.
HB 244, sponsored by Rep. Mack Butler, R-Rainbow City, would prohibit public school teachers at all grade levels from teaching or discussing gender identity or sexuality. The legislation also prohibits the display of pride flags and insignia in the classroom.
The law currently bans such discussions from kindergarten to fifth grade, but Butler said the expansion aligns with President Donald Trump’s agenda and executive order. “We’re trying to get as close as we could to President Trump’s executive order,” Butler said.

House and Senate committees approved Senate Bill 277, an abstinence-only sex ed bill, and House Bill 244, which aims to expand Alabama’s “Don’t Say Gay” law, after public hearings this month. https://t.co/1dGjr4IzEl
