This week, House Republicans passed a bill that aims to give parents more control over their children’s education by increasing transparency.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the bill Orwellian. Why do Democrats always have to engage in projection?
Parents have every right to know what their children are exposed to in schools. Especially public schools that are built and run with taxpayer money provided by parents!
ABC News describes the invoice:
House GOP Passes Parents Bill of Rights Act
On Friday, House Republicans narrowly passed the Parents Bill of Rights Act, sending the proposal to the Senate, where it is highly unlikely to receive a vote.
HR 5 passed in a 213-208 vote Friday morning, with five Republicans — Reps. Andy Biggs, Ken Buck, Matt Gaetz, Mike Lawler and Matt Rosendale — joining all Democrats in voting against the measure. Rep. Julia Letlow, R-La., sponsor of the bill, shook hands and bumped her fist as she rejoiced members as the bill passed.
“Today was a victory for every mother or father, but especially for every student in America,” President Kevin McCarthy said at a press conference after the vote, noting that thousands of parents supported the project. of law.
Proponents of the bill say HR 5 is based on five fundamental principles: parents have the right to know what their children are being taught, to be heard, to see the school budget and expenses, to protect their children’s privacy and ensure their children’s safety.
“This is not an attempt for Congress to dictate its [schools] curriculum or determining the books in the library,” Letlow explained. “Instead, this bill aims to bring more transparency and accountability to education, allowing parents to be informed and when they have questions and concerns to legally submit to their local school board” , she said.
And here is Chuck Schumer:
This MAGA House Republican school control bill is Orwellian to the core.

Schumer is only protecting his valued supporters in the teachers’ unions.
