爱荷华州寻求公众对新的教育规则的投入,包括教室中的胎儿视觉,以及取消性别认同作为受保护阶层的性别认同,这些规则定于1月14日生效。 Iowa seeks public input on new education rules, including fetal visuals in classrooms and removing gender identity as a protected class, set to take effect Jan. 14.

爱荷华州教育委员会正在寻求公众对实施2025年两项州法律的拟议规则的意见。 The Iowa Board of Education is seeking public input on proposed rules implementing two 2025 state laws. 一级要求5-12年级的人的成长和发展班必须包括产前发育从授精的视觉,不包括从事或提倡堕胎的组织提供的材料。 One requires grades 5–12 human growth and development classes to include visuals of prenatal development from fertilization, excluding materials from organizations that perform or promote abortions. 后者扩大了获得联邦承认的认证机构名单,允许这些机构监督公立学院,保护机构不受州法律的处罚。 The other expands the list of federally recognized accrediting agencies allowed to oversee public colleges, protecting institutions from penalties for following state law. 公开听证会定于12月30日举行,最后规则待定。 Public hearings are set for December 30, with final rules pending. 批评者警告胎儿发育任务可能会促进反堕胎信息传播,并包含不准确的信息。 Critics warn the fetal development mandate may promote anti-abortion messaging and include inaccurate information. 单独的规则还取消了根据州民权法作为受保护阶级的性别认同,并授权卫生与公众服务部调查学校附属人员虐待学生的行为,如果发现行为失检,则要求终止。 Separate rules also remove gender identity as a protected class under state civil rights law and empower the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate student abuse by school-affiliated individuals, requiring termination if misconduct is found. 这些规则于1月14日生效。 The rules take effect January 14.
