ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s Republican state senators are making another attempt to impose a conservative stamp on the state’s public schools. A bill passed Tuesday would ban transgender girls from playing high school sports with other girls. It would also limit sex education and would require a system for notifying parents of every item a child obtained in a school library. The Senate voted 33-21 along party lines for the bill. It was originally a House bill promoting suicide prevention. It was radically overhauled in Senate committee by adding a number of other bills that had earlier failed to pass the Senate.
