PARENTAL RIGHTS, OR CENSORSHIP? The Parents Bill of Rights Passed by Republicans
Published:

House Republicans passed an education bill focused on "parental rights" in the classroom, making a major political statement as one of their first acts with a House majority. The bill, titled the Parents Bill of Rights, passed in a 213-208 vote with five Republicans and all Democrats voting against it. Many on the left oppose the bill, saying it's about bullying teachers and students, not empowering parents. Most on the right support the bill, arguing that Democrats think parents should not have control over their kids’ education. We will take a look at what both sides have to say, and then I'll give you my take. (Stay through the end screen for a special "Behind the Scenes" moment.)
