RES. 518 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 15, 2023 Mrs. McClain (for herself, Mr. Duncan , Mr. Babin , Mrs. Miller of Illinois , Mr. Self , Mr. Higgins of Louisiana , and Mr. Webster of Florida ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce RESOLUTION Pushing back against the labeling of attempts by parents to ensure school curriculum and sports are age and sex appropriate as extreme.

Whereas all students should feel welcome in their classroom, but radical far-left ideas inappropriate for minors should not; Whereas it is not extreme or hateful to believe children as young as 6 should not be subject to discussion about sexual orientation or gender ideology in the classroom; Whereas it is not extreme or hateful to believe biological men should not compete against biological women in sports; Whereas, while issues dealing with the history of slavery and racism should be taught in the classroom, courses centered around the false belief that America is systemically, structurally, or institutionally racist should not; Whereas it is not extreme or hateful to believe that parents, not the government, should have the final say in their children’s education; and Whereas attempts to express these views in a violent manner are inexcusable: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports parents having a say in their child’s education; and (2) opposes— (A) allowing biological boys and men to compete in biological girls and women’s sports; (B) the weakening of title IX protections; and (C) labeling parents as extreme and hateful for wanting to keep inappropriate material out of their child’s classroom.
