Parents in Kansas could be able to remove their children from lessons on LGBT topics after lawmakers passed a bill on Thursday.

If enacted, House Bill 2236 will allow parents to choose an alternate activity for their K–12 children if they decide lessons don’t align with their “sincerely held beliefs, values, or principles.”
