Senate Bill 7 and Senate Bill 340 now move on to the Democrat-controlled State House.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A new bill passed by the Pennsylvania State Senate on Tuesday would require parents to opt in their children to access books in school deemed"sexually explicit."Most Democrats oppose this new bill and claim it targets books about LGBQTIA+ and marginalized people. It now goes to the Democrat-controlled House, where it faces an uncertain future.
SB 7 deemed explicit: “acts of masturbation, sexual intercourse, sexual bestiality or physical contact with a person’s clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or, if the person is a female, breast.” But, Democrats argue this bill will ultimately censor voices and say books available in schools are already vetted by educators.
