Parental Rights are Literal Fascism!
-
So the House passed a Parental Rights in Education Bill. As far as I can tell, there was no double speak, no hidden agendas, and nothing that can be misconstrued. In the bill, schools are required to disclose:
- Curriculum Lists
- Reading Lists
- Library Inventory
And they would be required to receive parental consent in changing a child’s gender status.
This is transparency. This is simple and basic requirements and I am astounded that it needs to even be codified into law.
Here’s the response:

Which school districts need this sort of law?
Not that I have looked into the education systems of many districts, but of the few I looked into, public school K-12 teachers have no problem publishing their curriculums. Parents have no problem seeing the curriculums, often times the parents also see the homework assignments as many of the teachers post homework assignments online.

In Loudoun County, you are currently required to go through a vetting process and sign an NDA to be allowed to view the curriculum. https://www.loudountimes.com/news/education/new-lcps-policy-on-controversial-curriculum-approved/article_67774a0a-65f0-11ed-8b60-e30ebac7308e.html
Here’s a school in PA https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pa-school-hides-racial-equity-training-curriculum
There are countless others. As for the whole hiding Gender Identity-

Hell, one of the largest Teachers Ynions is handing out kits on how to hide students gender identity… https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/teacher-union-promotes-hiding-students-gender-preferences-from-parents
But beyond all that, @Axtremus , if it wasn’t happening, then why are so many democrats deadest against codifying it?

Is that the right link you intended to cite? I searched over that article and couldn’t find any mention of NDA. :man-shrugging:

This one mentions NDA. I generally do not support hiding public schools’ student-facing curricula, behind NDA or otherwise.
This one mentions hiding certain curriculum elements from the parents. I generally do not support hiding public schools’ student-facing curricula.
… As for the whole hiding Gender Identity-

These have nothing to do with curricula.

If local governments want to codify publishing of all public school’s student-facing curricula, generally I would say go for it. For proposals that target only disclosure of curricula concerning sexual education social justice topics or “potentially controversial topics,” I would say stop the targeting (it would create more controversies and more accusations of whether certain curriculum elements are labeled correctly as “sexual” or “social justice” or “potentially controversial”) — just generally require disclosure of ALL public school’s student-facing curricula and be done with it.
…
Reading some of the articles you linked to about “hiding” the student’s gender identity, it makes me wonder what those complaining parents have been doing. One article says something about parents do not want the school to “co-parent” their children, yet they want the school to turn around and inform them if their kids have chosen a different gender identity? If a parent gets to a point where his/her kid deliberately makes a life-changing decision without feeling the need (or even feeling the resistance) of sharing it with the parent, you’d think the parent should be reflecting on how his/her parenting has gone wrong all those years leading up to that point rather than deputizing or legally obligating the schools or other agents of the state to snitch on the kid.

Great post. Totally agree. Although I do share @jon-nyc ’s hesitation on the library part. Not from a transparency perspective (any parent can view the library any time) but from making titles so easy to pick and choose and have endless debates at school board meetings.

Although maybe not perfect, it does not seem to be a bad law.
