WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — Busloads of mothers and fathers descended on Congress Wednesday to protest a bill the GOP says would give parents more say over their kids’ education. Those who showed up believe the bill is about politics, not education.
“We’re very concerned about a parents’ Bill of Rights that has been created for us without us,” said Keri Rodrigues, president of the National Parents Union.
The Federal Parents Bill of Rights Act, which is set for a vote in the House of Representatives this week, would direct educators to publicly post the curriculum for each school. It would also require schools to notify parents and guardians of their rights — like the ability to review their school’s curriculum and budget.
