A Win For Every Mother, Every Father, and Every Student in America

Yesterday, Speaker McCarthy gave a speech about the House of Representatives passing the Parents' Bill of Rights. The bill passed 213-208.

The proposed law was modeled after similar legislation that did pass last year in Florida. The House’s modest Parents’ Bill of Rights Act would require public school districts to:
* publicly post school curricula online, including listing books and materials in school libraries;
* offer at least two in-person parent-teacher meetings annually,
* require school boards to listen to parent feedback;
* disclose their district school budgets including all revenues and expenditures;
* notify parents of any violent activity at schools or sponsored events;
* get parents’ consent BEFORE any medical exams at school, including mental health or substance screenings.

Next, the bill goes to the Senate for a vote. It is not likely that the bill will pass in the Senate. However, this bill is a step in the right direction by influencing the national conversation about improving school transparency and increasing parental rights in the classroom.
