Dear Friend,
We're excited to share with you the news that today, the NC
General Assembly completed passage of the "Parents Bill of Rights"
(SB49), a bill we have fought years to get passed. It now
joins "Fairness in Women's Sports Act" (HB547) and "Gender
Transition/Minors" (HB808) in awaiting response by the
Governor.
Parental rights form the brick and mortar of the wall protecting
the family from government intrusion, and since 1923 the U.S. Supreme
Court has recognized parents’ rights as fundamental. Recent polling
shows 80.8% believe parents should have access to curriculum,
materials and resources being used in their child’s classroom and 71%
believe they should play a significant role in the curriculum
development process. At least 26 states have taken action to support
the rights of parents, and it is time for North Carolina to stand up
and do the same.
Parents are fed up with public schools and healthcare professionals
counteracting their values, hiding critical information about their
children, encouraging their children to adopt identities and
lifestyles that are harmful, using obscene books and materials in the
classroom, teaching LGBT ideologies and how-to’s to their children,
and hiding and encouraging their children to consent to medical
treatments that should be solely their responsibility.
The Parents Bill of Rights is a good first step to addressing some
of these problems. We urge Governor Cooper to put parents and children
before politics, and swiftly sign SB 49 into law.”
