After a months-long delay, one North Carolina school board has acquiesced to state law requiring the adoption of a parental rights policy, while another refuses to abide by the law.
“At its core, we know that SB 49—or the so-called Parents’ Bill of Rights—seeks to harm our queer youth and families,” said Asheville City Schools Board Chair George Sieburg at a Feb. 12 school board meeting. “As misguided and obtuse as this legislation is, it is written in such a crafty way that as a school board, our hands have been tied.”
