Whoever told you that did you a disservice. The best schools educate children coming of age on the changes happening to their bodies and how to protect themselves as they enter the age of sexual maturity. Under this bill that kind of education would be banned.

Banning sexual materials is such a vague idea, and the wording of this bill is so vague, that it can be used to justify withholding funds to force schools to ban anything. A book where two characters of the same assigned gender kiss? Banned. A book where the main character expresses thoughts of gender dysphoria? Banned. A book where a male character dresses up in heels and applies makeup and dances? Banned. Meanwhile the same content but presented in a heteronormative way? Totally fine!

That's not what this is about. The bill explicitly defines "sexually oriented material" to include anything that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism".

> so this shouldn't have any affect on anything.

What specific language in this law leads you to believe this is a reasonable conclusion?
