GOP's Parents' Rights Bill Sparks Education Culture War in House Vote.

The House is set to vote on the "Parents Bill of Rights Act," which would require schools to provide parents with a list of books and reading materials available in the school library, post curriculum publicly, and obtain parental consent before changing a minor child's gender markers or allowing a child to change sex-based accommodations. The bill has more than 100 co-sponsors and is expected to pass in the GOP-led House, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called the legislation "Orwellian to the core." Republicans have used the banner of "parental rights" to push for a curtailment of discussions around race, gender identity, and sexuality in schools, which critics argue is a conscious effort to advance a political agenda and stigmatize a vulnerable slice of American society.
