Chip Roy (R-Texas) speaks at a news conference about the National Defense Authorization Bill at the U.S. Capitol on September 22, 2021 in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Kevin Dietsch\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 11:41 AM PT \u2013 Friday, December 3, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Republican members of the House Education and Labor Committee brought forward a bill to strengthen parental rights.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the House floor on Thursday, several GOP representatives moved to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/6056?s=1&amp;r=5\">HR 6056<\/a>, the Parents\u2019 Bill of Rights Act. The bill clarifies parent\u2019s rights, which include the right to know what their children are being taught, the right to be heard, and their right to protect their children\u2019s privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) opened by drawing attention to the Democrat Party\u2019s viewpoint on education by pointing to Virginia\u2019s failed gubernatorial candidate, Terry McCauliffe, who said parents shouldn\u2019t be telling schools what they should teach. Cole emphasized the need for congressional intervention when it comes to education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducation is one of the most important issues that we face today. Determining how our children will be educated, determines the future fate of our nation. Unfortunately, many school districts have been ignoring the wishes of parents, or worse, telling parents they can not play a role in their child\u2019s education,\u201d Cole stated.<\/p>\n<p>Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) said she doesn\u2019t understand why anyone would oppose the Parents\u2019 Bill of Rights because it simply boosts the rights parents already have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking school spending in curriculum transparent should already be the norm. After all, what do schools have to hide,\u201d asked Foxx.<\/p>\n<p>When Democrat representatives took the floor, they suggested directing funds to free childcare and paid parental leave as an alternative, which Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said wasn\u2019t the answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s that we\u2019re funding a government to do things to us, to interfere with us. We\u2019re funding an FBI to target parents,\u201d said Roy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The idea that government can exclude parents and have total control of education will never work, because it ignores the simple truth that these are our children, not the government\u2019s. That\u2019s why my <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HouseGOP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@HouseGOP<\/a> colleagues and I are bringing forward the Parents Bill of Rights. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Aw6InzGCG9\">pic.twitter.com\/Aw6InzGCG9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Congresswoman Julia Letlow (@RepJuliaLetlow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepJuliaLetlow\/status\/1466483688691093512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.), the first Republican woman to represent Louisiana in Congress and an academic administrator herself, also called for action to be taken. She said the government can\u2019t take total control of the education system, urging her fellow lawmakers to see the importance of educators and administrators working with parents to ensure student success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea that government can exclude parents and have total control of the classroom will never work,\u201d she claimed. \u201cBecause it ignores the simple truth, that these are our children, not the governments. The Parents\u2019 Bill of Rights puts safeguards in place that ensure that the foundation is built on a meaningful dialogue between family and their child\u2019s school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She went on to add that the ideas in the bill aren\u2019t partisan or polarizing, but are simple and common sense.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/script-supervisor-of-rust-film-files-2nd-lawsuit-against-baldwin-others\/\">Alec Baldwin Says He Feels No Guilt For Fatal \u2018Rust\u2019 Shooting<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 SEPTEMBER 22: Rep.
