Alabama Senate candidate Tommy Tuberville is speaking out against transgender-related policies in schools, warning that parents should remain informed and involved in decisions affecting their children.
Tuberville asked voters to imagine a child coming home and saying they were taking medication or preparing for surgery because a teacher or principal encouraged it.
His comments reflect a broader political debate over parental rights, school policies, gender-affirming care, and the role educators should have in decisions involving minors.
The issue remains one of the major cultural-policy divides between Republican and Democratic candidates in Alabama and across the country.
