States. Across the country parents have become increasingly concerned with the content and quality of what their children are learning in school. The most dramatic jump in dissatisfaction came during the COVID-19 pandemic when parents saw first hand the kind of schooling their children were getting as everyone worked and studied from home. 

There have been widespread reports of racially charged and sexually explicit material being taught to kids. Whistleblowers have further confirmed the presence of such material in teacher lesson plans across the country. In the wake of these revelations, parents have been rising up and demanding greater oversight and say in their child’s education, and rightfully so.

What New Hampshire Can Do

New Hampshire can establish a Parental Bill of Rights by passing HB 10. HB 10 has already passed the House and now awaits a vote in the Senate.

HB 10 would:

• Affirm parents as primary medical decision makers, by requiring public school units to notify parents of important health information, as well as require health care practitioners to receive consent from parents before providing health care.

• Increase curriculum transparency by ensuring parental access to inspect textbooks and supplementary instructional materials.

• Ensure parents receive full access to students records, report cards, and information about state requirements, improving parent-teacher cooperation in student success.

• Protect the privacy of students' data and information.

HB 10 is a powerful bill that would rightly protect the rights of parents and increase transparency in the state of New Hampshire.
