Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds on Friday vowed to continue efforts to protect the children after a federal judge partially blocked a law that prohibits students from kindergarten through sixth grade from being provided instruction related to gender identity and sexual orientation.

“I’m extremely disappointed in today’s ruling. Instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation has no place in kindergarten through sixth-grade classrooms,” Ms. Reynolds said in a statement following the ruling.
