We support this legislation. Our children have been confused enough about gender by social media, the entertainment industry and organizations like the ALA. Providing young Iowans a space in our public education system where they can learn without being further confused by the idea that gender is somehow a fluid concept is important for their mental health. These socially contagious concepts shouldn't be a part of world language instruction or any public education instruction. We need to get completely back to the basics in our education system.

This may sound simplistic, but Im for this bill only if it would leave the children alone. There are only 2 genders! Male and female!!
