TL;DR Summary

House Republicans passed the "Parents Bill of Rights" legislation, which outlines what parents have the right to in their children's education, including access to teacher-parent meetings, school budget materials, curriculum and books, and the opportunity to testify before a school board. The bill also became a vehicle for several other GOP priorities, including policies on transgender students. Five Republicans voted against the bill, and no Democrats voted in favor. The Education Department criticized the bill, and Senate Majority Leader Schumer said it "will meet a dead end" in his chamber.
