MONTGOMERY-Governor Ivey has signed Senate Bill 184, the Alabama Vulnerable Child Protection Act, and issued the following comment:
“There are very real challenges facing our young people, especially with today’s societal pressures and modern culture. I believe very strongly that if the Good Lord made you a boy, you are a boy, and if he made you a girl, you are a girl. We should especially protect our children from these radical, life-altering drugs and surgeries when they are at such a vulnerable stage in life. Instead, let us all focus on helping them to properly develop into the adults God intended them to be.” – Governor Kay Ivey
Additionally, Governor Ivey signed House Bill 322 ( Public K-12 schools, requires public K-12 schools to designate use of rooms where students may be in various stages of undress on the basis of biological sex). Upon putting her signature on this piece of legislation, she issued the following statement:
“Here in Alabama, men use the men’s room, and ladies use the ladies’ room – it’s really a no brainer. This bill will also ensure our elementary school classrooms remain free from any kind of sex talk. Let me be clear to the media and opponents who like to incorrectly dub this the “Don’t Say Gay” amendment: That is misleading, false and just plain wrong. We don’t need to be teaching young children about sex. We are talking about five-year-olds for crying out loud. We need to focus on what matters – core instruction like reading and math.” – Governor Kay Ivey
