Kansas Senate Passes Bill That Could Jail Teachers for Controversial Material
The Kansas Senate last week passed a bill that could send teachers to jail if they expose students to material deemed “harmful to minors.” While proponents say the intention is to shield children from pornography, critics fear that the overbroad statute could criminalize many legitimate topics of study, from literature to art to biology. In fact, this effort began last year in response to a sex ed poster that was briefly displayed in a middle school classroom.
