Iowa schools overhaul curriculum: Fetal development lessons replace gender identity policies

Iowa is proposing new school rules requiring students in grades 5–12 to learn fetal development “from fertilization” using state-approved visuals. At the same time, the state is removing “gender identity” as a protected class in school policies, replacing it with “gender theory.” Supporters say parents should guide gender discussions, while critics warn the changes may marginalize transgender students. New rules also expand state authority to investigate school staff misconduct.
