On March 1, House Republicans introduced the Parents Bill of Rights Act to ensure that the rights of parents are honored and protected in public schools. The federal legislation, authored by Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.), comes as some states undertake similar efforts to protect parental rights and require curriculum transparency from public schools.
