'Protecting' kids or 'assault' on teachers? Missouri House passes parents bill of rights

[TexasTowelie]

JEFFERSON CITY -- The Missouri House on Tuesday became the latest legislative body across the country to approve a “parents bill of rights.”

The bill, which passed 85-59, vows to promote transparency in the classroom by outlining a set of rights parents may employ over their child’s education, including reviewing curriculum and visiting schools during school hours. It would allow parents to sue school districts that violate the bill’s rules.

The bill now heads to the Senate, where its sponsor said it would likely undergo minor changes.

“We need to teach kids how to think, not what to think,” said bill sponsor Rep. Ben Baker, a Neosho Republican. “We need to encourage parent involvement and not discourage it. This is about protecting our kids in schools.”
