The Alabama Senate has voted for legislation meant to ensure President Joe Biden will appear on the state’s November ballot. The legislation approved Tuesday mirrors accommodations made four years ago for then-President Donald Trump. The legislation now moves to the Alabama House of Representatives. The state has one of the earliest candidate certification deadlines in the country, which has caused difficulties for whichever political party has the later convention date that year. The legislation would push back the state’s certification deadline from 82 days before the general election to 74 days, in order to accommodate the date of Democrats’ nominating convention.
Alabama lawmakers have advanced legislation to ban teacher-led discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity in public school classrooms through eighth grade.

It would expand the current Alabama law, which prohibits the instruction through fifth grade. It would also ban teachers from wearing Pride flags or similar symbols at school. Supporters say parents, not teachers, should lead those discussions. Opponents argue that such legislation sends a message to LGBTQ+ people that they don’t belong in the state.
