The Leader’s Floor Lookout: Friday, March 24, 2023
Washington,
March 24, 2023
Here’s what to watch for on the House Floor today:
Protecting Parents’ Place in Education Democrats continue to insert their woke policies into schools behind the backs of parents, while the government targets those who speak up. Recently, some schools have gone so far as to not notify students of their national merit achievements in time for scholarship consideration or college applications in order to promote ‘equal outcomes’ after spending taxpayer dollars on equity consultants. Under the Biden Administration, the Department of Justice and the FBI have been investigating parents who voice concerns about what is happening in their children’s schools. The government and school boards are trying to silence parents and remove them from education, while using taxpayer dollars to promote woke agendas in classrooms. Parents have the right to transparency when it comes to their child’s education, to know how their taxpayer dollars are being used by schools, and to express their concerns to school boards without being silenced by the federal government. Rep. Julia Letlow’s legislation, H.R. 5, the Parents Bill of Rights Act, protects a parent’s right to be involved in their child’s education and right to share their concerns about a school’s curriculum without fear of persecution. House Republicans committed to protecting parents’ involvement in schools; now, they’re following through. |
