Florida Parental Rights in Education Expansion
Summary
Expands Florida's parental rights law through grade 12, requiring schools to notify parents of any changes to a student's mental, emotional, or physical well-being and banning gender ideology instruction without parental consent.
Why This Matters
Parents — not government bureaucrats — should have the final say in their children's education and upbringing. This law protects the fundamental right of parents to direct the care, education, and moral instruction of their own children.
