Chuck Schumer calls GOP bill requiring schools to obtain parental consent ‘Orwellian to the core’

The New York Times’ subheadline about the Republicans’ Parents’ Bill of Rights Act says “the legislation would require schools to obtain parental consent to honor a student’s request to change gender-identifying pronouns.”
The bill passed the House yesterday:
A divided House on Friday approved legislation that would mandate that schools make library catalogs and curriculums public, and that they obtain parental consent before honoring a student’s request to change their gender-identifying pronouns, part of a Republican effort to wring political advantage from a raging debate over contentious social issues.
The bill, approved almost entirely along party lines on a vote of 213 to 208, is a centerpiece of the Republican agenda that its sponsors call the Parents Bill of Rights Act.
