NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A Republican lawmaker is proposing
legislation that would require schools to inform a student's parents if the
child is engaging in homosexual activity.
Under the measure sponsored by
Sen. Stacey Campfield of Knoxville, a school counselor, nurse or principal can
inform parents if their children's "circumstances present immediate and
urgent safety issues involving human sexuality."
Campfield told reporters on
Wednesday that he considers the "act of homosexuality" to be
dangerous to a child's health and safety.
The measure is part of a similar
proposal, known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill, that Campfield passed in
the Senate in 2011, but the companion bill failed in the House last year.
The proposal would ban the
teaching of gay issues to elementary and middle school students.
Campfield says the current
legislation has a House sponsor and he's optimistic about its passage.
