Despite the howls and screams of liberal lawmakers, including the no longer relevant Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the house voted in favor of the Parents Bill of Rights Act. Banning drag shows and pornography in the classroom took a major step in the right direction. The Senate is evenly split but enough Democrats have gone DINO that the measure stands a chance of passing there, too.
Parents have rights in the House
On Friday, March 24, “The House voted to pass the Parents Bill of Rights Act,” Fox News writes, “over objections from Democrats who argued the bill is aimed at promoting ‘fascism‘ and ‘extreme‘ views of Republicans by making it easier for parents to ban books and out LBGTQ+ students.”
Clearly, over at Faux, they aren’t nearly as “fair and balanced” as they used to be.
At least they admit that it came in response to “growing anger across the country about access to information on everything from school curricula to safety and mask policies to the prevalence of gender ideology and critical race theory in the classroom.” Parents have a right to be angry over the way these issues have been handled.
The Parents Bill of Rights:
1. Right to know what’s being taught in schools and see reading materials.
2. Right to be heard.
3. Right to see school budgets and spending.
4. Right to protect your child’s privacy.
5. Right to be notified of any violent activity at school. pic.twitter.com/NunN5X6FFi

School board meetings are infiltrated with FBI agents taking notes and building secret files on any parent who dares question the psychiatric birth control program. Reducing world population drastically a goal of the World Economic Forum and that’s one way to accomplish it.
House Republicans reacted to Merrick Garland targeting conservative families “by approving the Parents Bill of Rights Act, which would require school districts to give parents access to curriculum and reading lists and would require schools to inform parents if school staff begin encouraging or promoting their child’s gender transition.”
That had AOC screaming and yelling but it still passed. Not a single Democrat voted for it and a handful of RINO republicans dared vote no but the bill squeaked by.
Attacking LGBTQ+ students
Refusing to coddle and pander to queer students isn’t the same as attacking them but AOC doesn’t see it that way. “This Republican bill is asking the government to force the outing of LGBT people before they are ready,” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argued incoherently from the floor.
“When we talk about progressive values, I can say what my progressive value is, and that is freedom over fascism.” Letting parents know their kid is taking puberty blocking hormones horrifies her. They might say no.
Kids are too young to be allowed to give consent to having sex, yet they can easily consent to changing their own sex. In secret. The parents who should be the ones to counsel them through such decisions are kept entirely out of the loop.
AOC has been “out to lunch” for quite a while now. https://t.co/6RI1Qp2Big

Republicans broke the fantasy bubble of progressives by explaining “parents have a right to know what is happening to their children in school, especially if schools are promoting gender transition without their knowledge.”
“The bill does not address a student’s identity or statements, but is solely focused on notifying parents about actions taken by school personnel to act on a gender transition, such as changing pronouns or switching locker rooms.” Parents should have “the right to know if a school employee or contractor acts to… change a minor child’s gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name; or… allow a child to change the child’s sex-based accommodations, including locker rooms or bathrooms.”
Also, nobody is burning or banning any books, they only want to know what’s in the library. “Nowhere in this bill is it banning any books,” asserted South Carolina’s Ralph Norman. The “goal of the language is to make sure parents are aware of sexually explicit books in school libraries.“
