A bill intending to add certain provisions to the Parental Bill of Rights was passed in the Louisiana Senate. This bill required the teaching of critical race theory in schools.
Senate law 262, introduced by Sen. Valarie Hodges, R-Denham Springs, is a one-page law that states that a public school “shall not discriminate against their child by teaching the child that the child is currently or destined to be oppressed or an oppressor based on the child’s race or national origin.”
The law passed with a vote of 28-11 and now heads to the House, where it has yet to be assigned to a committee.
The one-page bill was presented by Sen. Valarie Hodges, R-Denham Springs and states that a public school “shall not discriminate against their child by teaching the child that the child is currently or destined to be oppressed or to be an oppressor based on the child’s race or national origin.”
It was in 2018 that revisions were made to the 2014 Parental Bill of Rights. If a parent wants to know if their child has been a victim of a crime or if school personnel have communicated with law authorities, they can look at their child’s textbooks, and they can have a copy of their child’s records in writing within 10 days.
Additionally, it prohibits schools from discriminating against religious beliefs, both of the parents and the kid, and allows parents to withdraw their child from classes as per KTBS3.
