House GOP passes parents’ rights school bill after AOC, Dems cry ‘fascism’ | New York Post

House Republicans voted overwhelmingly to pass an education bill aimed at protecting parental rights on Friday despite outcry from Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who likened the law to “fascism.”

The GOP passed the Parents Bill of Rights Act in a 213-208 vote, with just five Republicans opposing the measure. No Democrats voted in favor of the bill.

“This bill is not complex or complicated,” said Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.), who authored the bill and defended it Thursday from the House floor.

“Nor should it be partisan or polarizing and contrary to what you may hear from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, it is not an attack on our hard-working teachers, who will always be the heroes in my eyes.”

The Parents Bill of Rights — which has been championed by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and was the brainchild of GOP conference chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) — would require public schools to disclose all curricula, reading lists, library books and budget costs, as well as force administrators and teachers to seek parents’ consent before changing a child’s gender status.

EXCELLENT NEWS! Let's continue the path towards correcting the damage that has been done by leftists.

So those that don't support this bill think it's ok to send our schools for
7-8 hrs each day and not tell the parents what they're learning, reading or studying? They're not told if the child gets into trouble, is bullied or expresses depression or suicidal thoughts. These people must not have kids. I wanted to know what was going on with my kids when they were in school back in the 2000s and I want to definitely know what my 7yr old grandchild is being taught in 1st grade!

This is one bill I support the rights of parents over the kids. And this bill needs to pass cause if not then our kids will think they can't do and so will the teachers and not respect the parents. We as parents need to support this bill and remember who is responsible for our kids we are as parents not teacher we pay a taxe so they can teach and we as parents must be actively involved in our kids education and school programs.

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot.

A more correct headline would be House GOP passes bill to remove protections for children of abusive parents.

To all the people in support of this, how do you not feel taken? I’m on the side of men shouldn’t be allowed to compete against woman but how can you feel in charge? Why did it get this far? Was Bush president for 8 years with complete control for part of it? Why did Obama run on change and nothing happened? Again I ask, how can you feel in charge? Why do people keep voting if we always get the same results whether the left or right is running the country? Speaking as someone who was born here, that’s had a tax paying job since 16 and now works in the trades and has never voted, how is this shell of democracy what our founding fathers wanted?
