Protecting and Strengthening Parental Rights in Schools: Rep. Miller Joins House Republicans in Introducing the Parents Bill of Rights Act

WASHINGTON - Today, Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) joined House Republicans in reintroducing The Parents Bill of Rights Act, which includes two bills crafted by Miller to protect children’s online safety and to ensure parents give consent before schools and Big Tech can collect any information from children. With 73 Republican co-sponsors, The Parents Bill of Rights Act provides legal protections for parental rights regarding their child’s education.

“Parents are the guardians of their children and should never be kept in the dark by their child’s school,” Miller said. “Standing up for parental rights and children’s online safety in schools has been a priority of mine since being sworn into the United States Congress. As the Vice Chair of the House Education and Workforce Committee, I have strongly opposed every effort by radical elites in DC to bypass parents and push racist Critical Race Theory, perverted sex-ed curriculum, and dangerous transgender policies that harm our children in our schools. The Parents Bill of Rights Act includes two provisions I drafted to protect children’s privacy from Big Tech and affirm a parent’s right to opt their children out of taking surveys regarding sexual orientation, transgender ideology, and woke politics. Congress must pass The Parents Bill of Rights to empower parents and increase transparency in the classroom.”
