House to vote on GOP's controversial Parents Bill of Rights Act.
House Republicans are set to vote on the Parents' Bill of Rights Act, which aims to give parents greater say in what is taught in public schools. Critics argue that the bill would fuel a far-right movement that has resulted in book bans, rewrites of history curricula, and raucous school board meetings across the country. Even if the House passes the legislation, it has little chance in the Democratic-held Senate, where it would need 60 votes to pass. Democrats have labeled the bill as the “Politics over Parents Act," arguing it would seed enmity between parents and educators and empower conservative activists who want to weed out books that delve into teachings on race and sexuality.
