House GOP press forward Friday with a midterm promise by voting on legislation to give parents greater say in what is taught in public schools, even as critics decry the “parents’ rights” bill would fuel a far-right movement that has resulted in book bans
WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Friday narrowly passed legislation to press a midterm campaign promise to give parents greater say in what’s taught in public schools even as critics complained the “parents’ rights” bill would fuel a far-right movement that’s resulted in book bans, restrictions aimed at transgender students and raucous school board meetings across the country.
House Freedom Caucus members unsuccessfully tried to add provisions that would have called to abolish the Department of Education and endorsed vouchers that would send public funds to private schools. “Parents want schools focused on reading, writing and math, not woke politics,” Rep. Mary Miller, an Illinois Republican, said during House debate Thursday.
McCarthy, made the “parents’ bill of rights” a plank in his midterm election pitch to voters to give Republicans a House majority. But the GOP’s expectation of a sweeping victory never materialized, and even in school board races, conservative groups’ goal of electing hundreds of “parents’ rights” activists largely fell short.
“It’s about every parent, mom and dad, but most importantly about the students in America,” McCarthy said at the introduction event.
