OPPOSE
SB 596 would provide that any person who subjects a school employee to “threats” or “harassment” after school hours or outside of school is guilty of a misdemeanor. SB 596 is an overly broad and vague bill that targets the First Amendment rights of parents, guardians, and other concerned community members. SB 596 will undoubtedly be used as a tool to go after parents who vocalize their opposition to offensive content or divisive curricula in schools.
