McCarthy and House GOP reintroduce parental bill of rights

Filed as HR 5, the Parents Bill of Rights Act would codify several new transparency requirements for public school districts while expanding parent-child privacy protections, including prohibiting schools from subjecting students to any physical or mental health exam without parental approval.McCarthy and Letlow announced the new bill at an event with parents Wednesday.

The reintroduced bill includes provisions that would require all public school districts to disclose clearly their curriculum materials to parents, mandate parental consent for participation in student surveys, and prohibit schools from selling student information"for commercial or financial gain." While the GOP controls the House, Democratic control of the Senate and White House means the bill is unlikely to become law. No Democratic lawmakers have signed on as co-sponsors.
