Board members at Elk Grove Unified School District near Sacramento, California, will vote on Sept. 17 on a new policy proposal requiring students in grades TK–6 to receive parental consent to join any club.

The proposed change followed backlash from parents over the establishment of an LGBT club, called the “UBU club,” at Pleasant Grove Elementary School (PGES) in January.
