Texas House gives final passage to bathroom restrictions in schools
Bonnen argues it is intended “to be respectful and fair” but Moody says ‘This bill now hurts kids by exclusion and discrimination”
A
version of the so-called “bathroom bill” was tentatively passed Sunday night in
the form of an amendment to a bill dealing with school safety measures.
The
amendment by Rep. Chris Paddie tacked onto the legislation is not as extensive
as its predecessors Senate Bill 6
and House Bill 2899, excluding all
entities other than public schools and open enrollment charter schools. It does
require school board trustees provide a single occupancy bathroom for students
who don’t want to use the bathroom of their “biological sex.”
