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.
Too many parents don't know zilch about education!
Education. Are you teaching kids WW1 breaches the Manga Carta which provides ownership of the Crusades to the Sovereign of the Manga Carta which the globe pays interest too? You refuse to explain this. Basic social studies. It is not rocket science. Some people call it offensive.
Congress wasting time again
Kevin McCarthy, you are a puppet to the idiocy of the Far Right. Pathetic, useless non-leader who has NO backbone. What a whimp!
this book-banning bill pushed by the governor and IA statehouse Republicans is a statewide power grab that cuts parents out of critical conversations over their kids’ education.
Gee parents and voters having control of what children are taught. And since when is school a bastion of free speech. I certainly hope there are plenty of things a student or teacher would get suspended for for saying in school. How about verbal bullying for starters.
This is a waste of time. Most parents I know are very involved their children’s education. This is SpeakerMcCarthy doing very little & trying to look like he’s working. He really is a weak & pathetic speaker. Sad…..
House Republicans are posturing. It’s a power, grabbed by the federal government, headed up by Maga Republicans.
Only one party is fighting for parental rights
Defund the DOE! And I wish there was a way I could opt out of paying for schools in my property taxes.
Parents have always had insight into their children's education if they get involved.
Well thank you Kevin. This will probably help inflation.
Great!!! Much needed
🤣🤣🤣
When trials come your way, think about how much you can grow if you overcome them. No experience is wasted in life. Everything is a treasure. A message from Oswald Walt Disney Shunji Yokoyama to children around the world. Friday, March 3, 2023 06:39 Japan time.
Good morning to all children around the world. Oswald Walt Disney Shunji Yokoyama. Let's practice today's happy message. Studying and not practicing is the same as buying a hoe and not plowing the field. If you try to take it easy like this example, you will stop growing.
Shouldn’t the parents have to be educated first?
This coward needs to be fired too
More power grabs by the GOP so out of touch with the majority of America!!!
If your kid is looking for books on suicide or lgbtq issues, these are abnormal things kids wonder about, and the school offers resources to them without contacting the parents would the school be responsible if the kid commits suicide? SuicideAwareness NewYorkTimes
Only groomers and pedophiles would be against parents knowing what their children are doing.
Isn't this how DeSantis started FLA on the road to fascism? When is MTG going to propose outlawing the democrat party?
Over their own child's education or over all children's education. Sounds like we are going to have a generation of uneducated adults who are unable to compete in the global marketplace.
That's a great idea. Why anyone would oppose this is beside me.
The saddest part of all this is that our children will never be able to compete in a global market. Children from other countries will be better educated than American children
They've already stolen our public education dollars. What more do they want?
Parents would have time if they didn’t have to work 2-3 jobs just have shelter, food and water. The wealthy, who keep you comfy, throw crumbs to their employees.
Permission for FreeDumb
Wonder if it will give parents the right to choose which books their kids read? Jk I know they are about banning books not choice or education.
Unions are mere lip service to Democrats. They destroyed them with WTO, NAFTA, and open borders. Accordingly, all public service unions should be banned.
Now, that is a good bill to pass.
How if yall changes the laws that restrict freedom. Child bye.
No!
The Department of Education is a joke.
Many of these parents can’t bring their own kids up correctly. Sure don’t want them deciding for others. That is why we elect board members. Burning books, taking away LGBTQ rights. denying history facts is called white supremacy. South Africa all over again.
They have it now. Use a private school or homeschool if you don't care for the public curriculum. The options for greater control already exist.
If a parent attended the parent-teacher night, all their questions would be answered. This bill is for extremists to control education. They want to eliminate the Department of Education in the end.
Take GVMT out of Education, look at Student Mafia Style loans and now a bailout for borrowers.
That is crazy stuff. Where do their parents got their knowledge from to decide what is good education. I would my father ask to skip Math.( What's the use, don't want to be a Calculator at all)
BS
So if a majority of us parents want our kids to learn the real history of this country that will happen right? Or is it just the racist twits that get a say?
If your kid is looking for books on lgbtq issues or sex education (normal things kids/teens wonder about) that might be a sign that you need to be a PARENT and TALK to them. Don’t blame the school for offering resources YOU should be offering as their parent.
Oh you mean like with an elected school board, PTA, requirements for curriculums to be listed, etc…oh wait a second…
How about teaching our kids the skills they will need in the workplace . We could help them pick careers allot sooner and fill the skills gap companies need .
We need to have more classes on economics .And teach our kids how to budget and save money .How to not get into debt .Dave Ramsey has a course on dealing with money and it works well .
This shouldn't even be a thing. The bill should be that any form of government CANNOT take away parents rights from their children.
Kids don’t have to be taught in class about gays or racial discrimination they learn it from their peers and parents and society .Turns out most kids don’t care about being gay it’s just a part of their friends culture .
I went thru all my sons books in high school .Never found a single mention of gay or trans or slaves in any of them , but he did have three active shooters on campus in his four years .
Here’s the real danger to kids in schools .Getting shot by a assault rifle.Only in the United States is a child in danger of a shooting than anywhere else in the world. And republicans are passing legislation on what books our kids are reading .Absolutely disgusting
SpeakerMcCarthy GOP nytopinion joncoopertweets fred_guttenberg MomsDemand Start to think, if you GOPhers can think.
this is a dismantling of education, to keep the population dumb and to get that ridiculous f’n bible put in schools.
The same people who just said they want to get rid of the Board of Education. I know Hobart didn't make it through high school, but this is just the GOP trying to look like they are actually doing something.
Boo
How about a bill that prevents kids from being slaughtered in schools by automatic weapons in the hands of mentally I’ll people .
A few militant parents will ride roughshod over anyone that doesn't agree with them. Let's face it, most parents are happy for the Education Dept and Schools to make those decisions without political leanings.
Good
Parents already have access to students online learning and state standards have always been available. If you want to know what your child is reading, ask them. Look in their bookbags. Check their homework. Review their assignments. This is a waste of time.
Good. I wouldn't want my kids being shown all matter of gay and trans material, having blackness forced down their throat, or all the other DE & I crap in schools now
They need to resign
pass enough junk theyll be known as a passerby. oooohhhh.
Sound like common sense.
I truly feel sorry for some of these kids.
😡😡😡😡😡
Very welcomed idea. The things they teach my kids these days, i don’t know what they’ll grow up to be with that mindset growing with them.
Parents are not qualified educators.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 parents with children that are diabetic or obese need not apply.
Enough of the lies from Congress in the form of Title IV D&E. The States get paid. You destroy families.
Clearly Parents aren't given the 'right' to actually parent. McCarthy lies but families are destroyed en masse or rather by the millions.
That’s rich coming from the party demonizing schools and teachers over lies they tell. Parents already have most of these rights.
This is about Re segregating schools by white parents that don’t want their little darlings around black people.
No. It’s so crazy religious parents can push their agenda on us
What about passing a bill to get rid of AR15 rifles? That’s what parents are asking for.
VETO!
Parents have complete access to their children daily. I’m guessing this GOP fecal “brainstorm” will drive out even more teachers.
Finally starting to follow Glenn Youngkin approach.
When do the illustrious ABC reporters point out that the 5 pillars are already the law and this bill is as much of a joke as the Born Alive Act?
Impeach Biden
In our town all that info is readily available if the parents choose to be engaged and involved
You live in a country where you have to be given rights to your children
Probably a smart given the big problems in education. We have to do better!
Because our children don't belong to the gov't to do at will what they want.
Its needed to keep political activists out of the teaching profession.
Most Parents don't care.
Geez just imagine parents with rights to oversee their child's influences. It's kinda like a no brainer to anyone without a narrative .
What about free lunches? Pubs pretend they're concerned about children and then do nothing about child hunger.
SpeakerMcCarthy Does Parent Bill of Rights GET RID OF THE GUNS so Parents have the Right to Expect their kids to COME HOME EVERY AFTERNOON after school? Does it include the Right for parents to DEMAND curriculum with accurate history, proven science & books GOP wants to ban?
TOO RIGHT ! THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE !!! STOP THESE FOOLISH WOKE DEMOCRATS WHO WANT TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE !
This is a lot about nothing. Parents want a say. Go to school board meetings, PTA meetings, and parent teacher meetings. Most of these whining parents have probably never been in their kids' classrooms. How does this help working families put food on the table or roof over head?
' they say', I have never recalled media using this phrase to describe any bill the Democrat party has proposed. The media have become such corporate propagandists, such frauds! and you're not even very good at it. Those who write ,write, those who can't become 'journalists'.
It’s none of their GD business how people raise their children
Waste of time. Parents already have these rights.
Parents already have great insight into their children's education! That us either stupid or redundant, still stupid...
which is called a school board
? Is DeSantis the parents to all school age children in Florida? What county is in agreement with what he’s doing with school education or is this just a few county parents in agreement with his big brain ideas
Parents always had rights, but they choose to not exercise them. If a parent would actually show up to a parent teacher conference that would be monumental.
In the history of dumb ideas this takes first prize. The GOP have convinced themselves that American parents number one worry is what the state is teaching their poor kids in school. Number one: “the school is teaching my kid to be gay or trans or to love people who aren’t white”
All the Republican Party does today is work to anger their base. They use buzz words and terms like “they” with zero specifics. They have their propaganda news channel(s) that admitted to pushing the big lie to their base. There is no agenda other than to push anger.
So what are hundreds of people supposed to try an agree on their children's education. Are they supposed to tailor their educating to individual families kind of like if it were individual students
What about a teacher’s bill of rights OR a student’s bill of rights? In my experience the only thing ensured by letting parents dictate education is the continuation of the parent’s bias and bigotry.
Why don't you name the books in your article so people can Google themselves to see exactly which books are under scrutiny and what prompted this parents right bill? 🤔
Who has time and money to cater to every single parents wishes We don’t pay educators enough to deal with this crap!!!
Parents could actually show up for parent/teacher conferences.
They are trying to rewrite the constitution instead of upholding it !
Lol parents must consent before talking to a counselor? No, I donr consent. They'll tell you about how I abuse them. Let teachers teach. You're going to lose more and more teachers nation wide be use of soapy d1ck rag Republicans.
This is ridiculous. Parents can get info. They just have to show interest or read stuff. If they don’t , that’s fine. Don’t think we need special law.
You mean parents that barley have GED’s themselves? Right that makes a lot of sense. Sorry but all this to hide the horrible history of slavery. This isn’t freedom this is stupid.
Thank God for the GOP
It's called Bible school
Then they can teach their kids.
And living in thr 1950's
How about a students bill of rights to not get shot while learning what their patents dictate what students will learn?
ReflectingMan Yeah…well…not what GOP claims:
So for the rich right
Keep them home and school them if that’s the case.
Almost all of this is occurring already. If you are an active parent and actually talk to you kids and attend school board meetings then this bill doesn’t provide you with anything you don’t already have access to.
ReflectingMan The banana republicans don’t care about protecting anything other than their power and Trump. Banana republicans are all gaslighting traitors.
Twenty years from now when there is a significant teacher shortage, it will be absolutely clear who is responsible for young people avoiding this profession. Stop attacking teachers.
Does it include an assault weapons ban? My child has the right to an education without fearing slaughter in her classroom every day. She should not have to do shooter drills because of people’s sick obsession with weapons of war. Dead children can’t be educated.
Good. Enough with the deranged ideology the leftists are cramming down everyone's throats.
America’s education system and level is going to drop, you shall see, and I keep to my word
Aaaand it's vetoed.
Parents you have 0 educational degrees, you have 0 experience in teaching, as if you do, simple fix, home schooling your own kids then in your own homes
This issue alone is why Glenn Youngkin won the gubernatorial race in Virginia. Smart move.
Republicans and education are two words that don't go together 🤣
Lololol
