Parental Rights

An update on our reporting about parents around the country clashing with schools over everything from critical race theory to controversial gender teachings. A Parents' Bill of Rights recently passed by the Republican-controlled House may die on the vine. The bill gives parents the right to review school budgets and curriculum, inspect reading materials, be informed about violence at school, and more. Democrats oppose the bill, saying it permits parents to bully teachers and schools. Since Democrats control the Senate and the White House, analysts say it has no chance of becoming law.
