The Controversy Surrounding the Parental Bill of Rights Act

Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart criticized House Republicans for their national Parents Bill of Rights legislation, which he views as an attack against transgender children. He believes that the GOP needs a foil and that the far right has a problem with trans kids. Although parents have concerns about what their kids are learning in classrooms, Capehart thinks that the party of life and respect for family and individual freedom has no problem putting a target on the backs of trans kids and their families. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer promised the bill "will not see the light of day" in the Senate, calling it "Orwellian to the core." Capehart urged pushback against the GOP as well as the "rabble-rousing" parents who support their legislation.
