From the Register:
Iowa Republicans have launched the 2023 legislative session with ambitious and far-reaching bills aimed at overhauling the state’s educational system, with a focus on giving parents more control over what and how their children are taught at school. 
Early attention has focused on Gov. Kim Reynolds’ plan to allow all Iowa students to access taxpayer-funded scholarships to pay for private schools — a proposal that will have an estimated $341 million price tag when fully phased in, her office says. 
Republican lawmakers have released a flurry of bills of their own, including several that revolve around LGBTQ students or controversial curricula such as critical race theory[emphasis added]
