House Republicans pass Parents Bill of Rights Act -
The legislation passed largely along party lines, 213-208, with five Republicans joining the Democrats.
This includes: school curricula, education budgets, reading lists and library books. School officials must also tell parents about any violent incidents that occur on school property and talk with parents about how best to protect their children’s online information. He added, “The right to see the school budgets and how they spend their money, the right to protect your child’s privacy and the right to be updated on any violent activity at the school. We think these are pretty basic things that everybody and every parent should have a right to.”
Rep. Gregory Meeks, New York Democrat, accused Republicans of putting “politics over people” with the legislation.
