House Republicans voted overwhelmingly to pass an education bill aimed at protecting parental rights on Friday despite outcry from Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that likened the law to “fascism.”in a 213-208 vote, with just five Republicans opposing the measure. No Democrat voted in favor of the bill.
Rep. Julia Letlow , who wrote the bill, said the bill was “not an attempt to have Congress dictate [school’s] curriculum, or determine the books in the library.”“Parents are the primary stakeholders in their child’s education, and House Republicans are working to protect their right to know what is going on inside their child’s classroom,” Stefanik said in a statement after the bill became a law.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and GOP conference chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik strongly supported the bill.Every Democrat opposed the education bill, with some citing concerns that it would target LGBTQ+ students and ban certain books from school libraries. “This Republican bill is asking the government to force the outing of LGBT people before they are ready,” the 33-year-old socialist firebrand said.
Republican Reps. Andy Biggs , Ken Buck , Matt Gaetz , Michael Lawler and Matthew Rosendale also voted against the Parents Bill of Rights.“From wokeness to funding to bathrooms to Critical Race Theory, the federal government SHOULD NOT be involved in education,” he said. The idea was to allow troops and other parents of children attending the 160 Defense Department Education Activity-run elementary, middle and high schools further insight into the curriculum their children were being taught.
On Thursday, Stefanik said she learned Wing had been moved “to another position that does not include diversity, equity and inclusion-specific responsibilities,” which she suspects “has to do with the fact that we [Republicans] have shined light on this.”
