This bill would discriminate against transgender students in South Carolina public schools and universities by requiring them to use restrooms and changing facilities that do not match their gender.

This bill would allow parents to exempt their children from any classroom instruction in a public school if it conflicts with their “beliefs or practices regarding sex, morality, or religion.” It would also forbid classroom discussions of "gender roles or stereotypes, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation” unless a teacher gives parents five days' advance notice and receives affirmative consent from the parents.

This bill prohibits any government agency or school from awarding grants or contracts that classify, prioritize, or set a quota based on race. Any policy or contract that violates this would be void and unenforceable.

This bill states that a library board would not be allowed to require a chief librarian, library director, or library employee to be certified by the American Library Association or have a master’s degree from a program certified by the ALA.
