My fiancée is from BHM and I’ve been there a lot over the years. Honestly, I love the area.
We made plans to move there when we have kids (soonish), as she wants to be close to her family after being away for many years. I love her family and was 100% ready to do it.
Now I’m not so sure.
First it was we can’t move until we have a child due to the new laws. Now it’s wtf will are kids learn or NOT learn in the education system there.
I assume it depends on the town/district but still wtf. We have good friends from her group and they are very cool. But nature vs. nurture over all. Don’t get me wrong, I want my kids to eat dirt, climb trees, shoot a gun, maybe break a bone. Not a helicopter parent at all.
What’s really going on in AL / BHM these days. Or is it too soon to see the impacts?
Love y’all
Yes, Alabama is a politically and culturally conservative state, like many other states in the US. If that's a deciding factor for OP, Alabama might not be the best choice. Last count, 22 states are considering or are enacting similar laws.

With a couple of exceptions, the reality of the situation is largely different from what you see on TV.
