"Hinson, whose 14-year-old son attends Linn-Mar High School, wrote to education secretary Linda McMahon to address the video, which she claimed was an "egregious encroachment on parental rights." In the letter, she hit out at segments in the video that highlighted "non-monosexual identities," stating that "a non-monosexual identity refers to sexual orientations that are not exclusively homosexual or heterosexual," and "non-monosexual identities emphasise that attraction can be complex and not limited to traditional binaries"."
"Our schools should be educating students, not indoctrinating them." "Exposing children to ideology that may conflict with a family's values or faith, or that parents are not ready to address with their children, is wholly unacceptable," she wrote, adding that she is urging the Department of Education to "launch a full investigation into this conduct at Linn-Mar High School"."
A Republican lawmaker wrote to the education secretary seeking a federal investigation after her 14-year-old son's high school produced a Bisexual+ Awareness Week video. She criticized the video for highlighting non-monosexual identities and defined non-monosexual orientations as not exclusively homosexual or heterosexual, saying attraction can be complex and not limited to binaries. She said schools should educate, not indoctrinate, and called exposing children to ideology that conflicts with family values unacceptable. The lawmaker urged the Department of Education to investigate. The school district said it will tighten protocols to allow parental opt-outs. A legal complaint has been filed against the US Department.
