The measure, SB114, has drawn vocal opposition from teachers but strong support from conservative parent groups since it was introduced.

“It’s ultimately going to put more pressure on teachers to put all this information out publicly when your lessons plans can change very quickly and dynamically,” said Jayrod Garrett, a teacher at DaVinci Academy in Ogden.

He said he’s confused why parents want to be involved with curriculum materials when many don’t show up to or engage with parent-teacher conferences, where educators are happy to share what they’re teaching. But now, he said, it feels like they want to jump in and tell teachers what they can or can’t do.

Cooper questioned lawmakers’ motives: “What are you willing to do to help our teachers instead of finding ways to make their jobs harder?”, urged the committee to recognize the burdens teachers are already facing with the pandemic and not add more unnecessary requirements. One mom added that if parents are that worried about what their kids are learning, they should home-school.
