A Common Sense Law?

This issue is a common sense issue … do parents deserve to know what their children are learning? To the Dems in the U.S. House of Representatives the answer is, “No!” On 3/24/23 all of the Dems in the House voted against H.R. 5, known as the “Parents Bill of Rights” to protect parental rights in education. 

From Townhall:

“The legislation gives parents the right to know what’s being taught in schools and to see school reading materials, the right to be heard by school officials, the right to see the school budget and spending, the right to protect their child’s privacy, and the right to be updated on any violent activity at school.”

So far this seems like common sense, as every good parent wants to know what is happening at their children’s school. Why would the Dems be against this? Perhaps, it had to do with an amendment to the bill, sponsored by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), says that parents have the right to know if their child’s school operates, sponsors or facilitates athletic programs that allow transgender athletes to join a team that aligns with their gender identity instead of their biological sex, The Hill reported. This same policy also goes for school restrooms and locker rooms.

Typically, Dems play a lot of attention to polling, but they missed it here.

A new poll recently found that the majority of registered voters believe that schools should not keep information surrounding a child’s gender identity from parents. And, the majority of voters supported legislation requiring schools to inform parents if their child wants to change their identity at school.

It will be interesting to see what happens to this bill in the Senate, as a few RINOs will actually have to decide what is actually important to middle Americans. Of course, in the end none of this will matter as our squishy President will veto anything that is important to the average citizen.

However, come 2024, parents will realize who is basically on their side, and as we all learned from last year’s Virginia’s governor’s race, parents vote.
