LIVE NOW: We're in the House Education Committee where lawmakers are considering another bill to ban trans athletes from schools sports and a bill to ban universal mask requirements at schools and colleges/universities. Watch at ket.org. #KYGA22 #HB23 #HB51
#HB51 would prohibit schools, colleges, & universities from requiring universal masking. Banning safe, simple, and effective precautions would limit equal access to education for some students w/ disabilities. Similar bans are been blocked in other states. aclu-ky.org/en/news/unmask…
#HB23 would build on #SB83 by banning trans children students from sports at schools AND at colleges and universities. These bans are discrimination, plain and simple. These are also blocked in court in other states. #KYGA22 ACLU-KY.org/Sports
