Parental Rights Bills Face Defeat in New Hampshire and Connecticut
TL;DR Summary
New Hampshire Democratic state Rep. Tommy Hoyt told a parent to "shut up" after the parent urged him to support a proposed parents bill of rights. Hoyt argued that parents are "incompetent teachers" and shouldn't be involved in their children's education. The proposed bill seeks to establish a parents bill of rights that would prevent public schools from withholding information about their children. The measure was defeated in a 195-190 vote and was opposed by teachers unions and LGBTQ activists. Hoyt is endorsed by the National Education Association and won his seat in the statehouse by a mere 18 votes last year.
