Members of the House Elementary and Secondary Committee are up bright & early to hear a pair of bills pertaining to a “Parents’ Bill of Right” in schools. @DougRicheyMO’s and @NickBSchroer’s bills allowing parents to be informed of what their student is learning. #moleg
It’s a packed house for this hearing, with overflow in the hallway. #CriticalRaceTheory is also up for discussion this morning. #moleg
The two bills are similar and Schroer and Richey say they plan to combine their legislation. #moleg
.@paubrown1 asked @DougRicheyMO who gets to decide what is a “controversial topic” when it comes to curriculum. Richey said it’s something the parent would get to decide after the district provides all topics/subjects that will be taught. #moleg
The two sponsors @DougRicheyMO and @NickBSchroer say the legislation could include allowing parents to exempt their kids from required vaccinations. #moleg
.@MaggieforMO says this legislation “destroys quality education” in Missouri. #moleg
Rep. Pollitt, former superintendent in Sedalia, says he’s concerned about parents going into the classroom during the day and intimidating the teacher because of a grade their student received. Schroer’s bill allows parents to check in their child during the school. #moleg
