Yesterday, NC Senate Republicans held a press conference introducing the Parents’ Bill of Rights, which they say would give parents more control over the direction of their child’s education and require more transparency in public schools. During the N.C. Senate’s education committee, where the bill was later debated, several Democrats objected, calling the bill “divisive.” The Parents’ Bill of Rights, or S.B. 49, would prevent material discussing gender ideology, sexual activity, and sexuality in the classroom for children in kindergarten through third grade. The bill would also require schools to tell the parents when a child wants to change his or her pronouns.
