Overview
- The Lega filed a corrective amendment in the Chamber that lifts the ban for lower secondary schools but allows programs only with prior informed parental consent and advance disclosure of topics and materials.
- The prohibition stays in place for preschool and primary grades, with the party saying respect and relational themes remain addressable under existing national guidelines.
- The new text, again signed by Giorgia Latini and presented by rapporteur Rossano Sasso, arrived as the House opened debate on the informed‑consent bill.
- Opposition lawmakers from PD, M5S and AVS criticize the measure as censorship that would divide classrooms between students permitted to attend and those excluded.
- ProVita&Famiglia delivered 50,000 signatures backing parental consent, while ministry monitoring and new research urge a national law, standardized curricula and teacher training to overcome patchy implementation.
