IF YOU’VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE YOU NEED TO PASS THIS KIND OF BILL, YOU JUST MIGHT CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS ARE TOTALLY CORRUPT AND NOT WORTH SAVING. You might want to #JustWalkAway: Proposal would recognize parental rights to children … even in schools!
Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) has introduced a new bill that would prevent government-funded schools from concealing information about students’ gender preferences from their parents.
The bill, titled the “Parental Rights Over the Education and Care of Their (PROTECT) Kids Act,” would require elementary and middle schools that receive federal funds to obtain parental consent before changing a student’s gender markers, pronouns or preferred name on any school form. It also compels schools to receive permission from parents before allowing a child to use sex-based accommodations, such as locker rooms and bathrooms, that do not align with the child’s biological sex.
“Schools exist to educate children—not indoctrinate them,” said Scott. “A quality education requires input from those who know children best: their parents. Sadly, radical and secretive gender policies have shut parents out of the conversation and broken their trust. My bill will safeguard parental rights, improve the crucial relationship between parents and schools, and ensure that children can learn in an environment free from activist ideology.”
