Friend,
Last month, I delivered my State of the State address, laying out a clear set of priorities for the 2022 legislative session.
This week, my floor leaders introduced legislation to tackle one of those priorities head on.
Georgia parents are FED UP with being kept in the dark on the curriculum being taught in our public schools – it's time to pass a Parents’ Bill of Rights.
As the parents of three daughters, one who is a public-school teacher, Marty and I have been extremely concerned about this trend we’ve seen take hold across the country. In far too many school districts, we’ve seen a concerted push to indoctrinate our students with divisive ideologies like Critical Race Theory.
This is wrong and it’s dangerous. As long as I’m governor, it will not take root in Georgia.
Parents are fighting back, and it’s time we empower them. They deserve full transparency as to what’s being taught in their children’s classrooms and a seat at the table, and their voices need to be heard and respected.
The Parents’ Bill of Rights would ensure that parents have access to instructional material, requiring those running our schools to provide requested information. If they are unable to share requested information within three working days, they will be required to provide a description of the material and a timeline for its delivery within 30 days.
Today, I’m asking you to join our fight for transparency in education.
Sign the petition to show YOUR support for the Parents’ Bill of Rights >>>
I’ll be sure to keep you posted as this legislation advances through the Legislature.
