Washington
Washington's 2026 ballot includes two measures concerning parental authority and the boundaries of public education. IL26-001 establishes a parental right to review materials and opt children out of sexual-health curricula, and IL26-638 requires sex verification for participation in female school sports. The questions raised include parental authority, educational policy, and the integrity of girls' athletics.
