'This Bill Falls Short'_ Jahanna Hayes Bemoans GOP-Backed Pregnant Students' Rights Act

Published | Video Starts at 00:47

Many adults may feel continuing their higher education journey is not compatible with childhood. I'm sorry, with parenthood, I agree with the underlying premise of the pregnant Students Rights act. Institutions of higher education should have to distribute information about the rights of pregnant students and the resources available to them at the school through their website, student handbooks, emails, and during student orientations. Additionally, the bill reinforces current laws requiring schools to adopt and publish procedures for students to file complaints of discrimination related to their sex, pregnancy, or parental status.

CLAIM

Asserts that institutions of higher education should distribute information about the rights of pregnant students and available resources through various channels.
