Kentucky's governor has cleared the way for a bill to take effect that gives parents a pathway to challenge school instructional materials they consider unfit for children.
The bill was part of a push by Republican lawmakers to boost parental input over school policies. It requires Kentucky school districts to create a process to challenge instructional materials that parents deem “harmful” to children.
Supporters said the measure aims to ensure the right for parental responses to books and other school materials containing explicit sexual content. Opponents countered that the measure could lead to the banning of books and create added burdens for local school boards.
