Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Proposes ‘Parental Bill of Rights’
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has proposed a “Parental Bill of Rights” to protect families from the increasingly partisan education system.
The bill says that it will “amend the Texas Constitution to make clear that parents are the primary decision-makers in all matters involving their children.”
Abbott announced his effort during a re-election campaign stop at a charter school in Lewisville last week.
“Abbott said the plan would expand parents’ access to school curriculum, make materials easily accessible online or other means, and reassure parents their concerns about school curriculum and policies are heard,” ABC 13 reports.
The legislation would also protect students from obscene material being provided to them in school. Educators who violate this policy will be barred from teaching in the state.
