Overview

• The student-run morning show aired segments on Sept. 23 and 25 for Bisexual Plus Awareness Week that defined non-monosexual identity and listed bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer and omnisexual.
• Linn-Mar Spectrum, the school’s Gay–Straight Alliance, produced the content for the school-affiliated announcements program.
• Rep. Ashley Hinson said the broadcasts were shown without parental knowledge or consent and called the content inappropriate for students.
• Hinson sent a letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon requesting a Department of Education investigation, and the department has not publicly commented.
• The Linn-Mar Community School District said it is conducting an internal review to determine whether policies or procedures were violated, with prior litigation over parental notification providing context.
