Tell Congress to Support Parents Rights

*UPDATE: On Friday, March 24th, the House passed the Parents Bill of Rights in a 213-208 vote. The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.

Parents matter! They are important in every aspect of a child’s life. Yet today, government-run schools are determined to disrupt the parent-child relationship and create barriers so that parents are left in the dark about what their children are exposed to in the classroom.

That doesn’t sit well with parents so it’s time to send these government officials a message: Parents have rights!

The Parents Bill of Rights Act (H.R. 5) was just introduced to protect parental involvement in all federally-funded K-12 schools. The bill confirms that parents should have the right to: 

• Review their school’s curriculum, reading materials, and state academic standards.
• Lawfully engage with their local school board and educators.
• See a school’s budget and spending, including detailed information about revenues and expenditures.
• Protect their child’s privacy.
• Keep their child safe and be updated on any violent activity at school.

The bill is moving swiftly through the legislative process. Your voice matters in this conversation and legislators need to hear from parents now.  

Tell your legislators to support Parents Rights!
