School curricula; require inclusion of fetal development videos and graphics in grades 6-12.

SB 2303, which died in committee on February 3, 2026, would have required Mississippi public schools to include a specific video or animation showing human fetal development stages in science classes for grades 6-12. The bill mandated that schools provide written parental notification one week before showing the material and allow parents to opt their children out. It specified the content must cover cell growth and organ development at each pregnancy stage, while requiring compliance with federal and state laws. The bill never became law and remains inactive.
