HB 1999 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Allows school districts to include instruction on LGBTQ contributions to society

This bill directs Missouri school districts to teach students about the historical roles and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people to American society. To support this instruction, the state department of education must create an inclusive curriculum in partnership with advocacy groups, which will be available to schools starting in the 2025-26 school year. The required content covers topics such as LGBTQ social movements, historical persecution, current issues of inequality, and the community's influence on law, culture, and the arts. The legislation also mandates that schools comply with these requirements while adhering to all applicable federal, state, and constitutional laws.
