The U.S. House scored a victory for parental rights on Wednesday, passing a bill to prevent schools from hiding gender transitions from parents despite opposition from Reps. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) and Jared Golden (D-Maine).
The bill, from Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), passed with a narrow 217-198 margin in a largely party-line vote, with eight Democrats breaking with their majority to support the bill.
The bill would remove federal elementary and secondary school funding from any schools that fail to obtain parental consent before changing a student’s gender on documents or changing the student’s “sex-based accommodations.”
It would effectively prevent elementary and middle schools from facilitating secret social gender transitions of students whose parents do not approve of radical gender ideology.
The bill specifically prevents schools from changing a child’s pronouns or preferred name on any forms without parental consent.
Notably, it does not apply to high schools.
Though the bill passed with a narrow margin through the House, it is unlikely to make it through the Senate’s deadlock, where it would need significant Democratic support to move forward.
Once again Maine democrats squander an opportunity to improve Maine’s image.
Disgrace.
Pingree is against EVERYTHING that I support , and supports NOTHING that I would deem common sense .
Pingree is as far as I am concerned a TOTAL POS .
How mentally ill do you have to be to exclude parents from that barbaric equation
After the Devil came down to Georgia then the Devil came up to Maine. But in Maine, the Democrats were given the golden fiddle.
Democrats are an anti-human cult obsessed with ritual sacrifice (abortion) and mutilation. Scary as f*ck….

What drugs do these promoters of child mutilation indulge in, that destroy their sense, logic, or compassion for human beings? Would they approve or submit if we applied their agendas and actions to them?
This sick dispictable shrew will be representing Mainer’s in DC. Come January, so depressing.
