Overview
- Rep. Ashley Hinson asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon to open a Department of Education investigation into Linn-Mar High School over Bisexual+ Awareness Week broadcasts.
- Linn-Mar says it is conducting an internal review and will tighten internal protocols to inform parents in advance about potentially sensitive student-created content.
- The announcements were produced by members of the school’s Spectrum Gay–Straight Alliance and included a definition of non-monosexual identities; coverage also described messages encouraging allyship.
- Hinson said the segments aired without parental knowledge or consent and asserted faculty approved them, noting her 14-year-old son attends the school.
- The Department of Education has not publicly said whether it will open an inquiry, while Iowa Safe Schools called the broadcasts student-led free speech rather than curriculum.
