HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A bill passed the Pennsylvania state Senate that would require parents to opt in to allow children to view books deemed sexually explicit. The bill passed 29 to 21 on Tuesday, with most Democrats rejecting it. It now goes onto the Democrat-controlled House, where it faces an uncertain future. The bill is part of a larger nationwide effort of expanding parental oversight into schools. Other state Legislatures have taken up similar legislation that opponents say specifically targets LGBTQ+ and students of color. The bill's sponsor rejected that characterization and said the bill would not ban any books but give more oversight for parents.
