House Republicans will continue our fight to create a future that’s built on freedom with H.R. 5, the Parents’ Bill of Rights.

Right to know what’s being taught in schools and to see reading material.
Right to be heard.
Right to see school budget and spending.
Right to protect their child’s privacy.
Right to be updated on any violent activity at school.
