Controversy Surrounds House Republicans' Parents Bill of Rights Vote

Five House Republicans voted against the GOP's Parents Bill of Rights, which emphasizes parental rights in the classroom. The legislation mandates that schools post their curricula publicly, require that parents are allowed to meet with their children's teachers, and demand that schools provide parents with information when violence happens on school grounds. The Republicans who opposed the measure raised concerns about the federal government involving itself with local school districts and the bill's potential to undermine federalism. One congressman cited an amendment added to the legislation that "went too far" by targeting certain children.
