House Republicans on Wednesday pushed forward with their plan to empower parents to take on “woke” and dysfunctional school systems by arming them with a proposed Parents Bill of Rights.
The legislation is lawmakers’ answer to the rift between parents and school administrators that began with COVID-19 restrictions and grew into a backlash against left-wing politicization of curriculum, which has also become a top issue for Republicans.
• The right to a list of the books and other reading materials in the library of their child’s school.• The right to information about violence in their child’s school. “The right to see the school budgets and how they spend their money, the right to protect your child’s privacy and the right to be updated on any violent activity at the school,” he said. “We think these are pretty basic things that everybody and every parent should have a right to.
Republicans have cited issues ranging from school officials and teachers who hid school curriculum and sexually explicit school library books from parents, to coercing students to change their gender pronouns and hide the change from their parents. The legislation would amend the 1974 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act to ban educational agencies or institutions from acting as an “agent” of a parent.
