Democrats introduce their own ‘Bill of Rights’ for public school students, parents

Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., introduced the resolution measure on Friday, with 27 other Democrats signing on and with backing from nearly 50 education and advocacy organizations.

The resolution is among the first to establish a bill of rights for parents and students from Democrats. It comes after Democrats in the House Education and the Workforce Committee accused Republicans last week of attempting to dictate local governance through its bill.
