Controversial Parents Bill of Rights passes in House, receives no Democratic support.

TL;DR Summary
The U.S. House has passed a bill called the Parents Bill of Rights, which requires schools to allow parents to see curriculum plans, lists of materials, and any available books, as well as be informed about school budgets and incidents of violence. Republicans say it protects parents' rights, while opponents call it a dangerous move in a culture war. The bill also includes a controversial provision requiring teachers to notify parents if students are being treated as transgender. Some parents believe the bill is a dangerous distraction from real issues in schools, while others say it affirms parents' right to know what is being taught.
