House Republicans Pass Controversial Parents Bill of Rights Legislation Despite Democratic Opposition.

House Republicans passed the Parents Bill of Rights Act, which requires schools to notify parents of their right to review the curriculum and school budget, inspect books and other library materials, and receive information about any violent activity in the school. The bill also prohibits schools from selling student information and requires parental consent before changing a student's pronouns or preferred name or allowing a student to change their sex-based accommodations. Democrats oppose the bill, claiming it politicizes the classroom and puts LGBTQ students at risk. The bill indicates a further leaning in on culture war issues ahead of the 2024 election, with Republicans viewing parental rights as a winning issue.
