DES MOINES, Iowa - The Iowa House has passed an education bill that deals with classroom violence and assaults.
The bipartisan bill passed Wednesday by a 95-3 margin after language allowing teachers to physically restrain students in certain circumstances was removed.
The change is in line with demands from Des Moines Black Lives Matter, which says the language, "legalizes corporal punishment in Iowa public schools."
The bill was also amended to remove some immunity from disciplinary action for teachers who come into physical contact with a student.
The bill now goes back to the Iowa Senate for consideration.
An updated set of demands from Des Moines Black Lives Matter on Wednesday did not include changes to the education bill.
