House Republicans introduce Parents Bill of Rights, which they say would give parents more insight and power into their children's education.
from Rep. Julia Letlow, R-La., school districts would be publicly required to post curriculum information, provide parents with a copy of revisions to state education standards, provide parents with the list of books and reading materials available in the library and more.
Activists, parents and families from across the country gathered in the Rayburn Room to tout the new proposal alongside McCarthy, the House Republican Conference chair, Elise Stefanik, House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx and others. The bill would require parental consent before medical exams take place at school, "including mental health or substance use disorder screenings," and inform parents of violent activity at school.
The new bill has 73 republican co-sponsors and the GOP-led House "will pass" it later this year, Stefanik said.
