Democrats propose countermeasure to GOP's Parents Bill of Rights

The Bill of Rights for Students and Parents, unveiled by Oregon Rep. Suzanne Bonamici on Friday, calls for well-rounded education "rooted in evidence-based practices" to support teachers, students and families.

"It serves as a direct contrast to recent proposals that are unproductive, burdensome, and pit parents against educators," her office said in a news release. According to a spokesperson for Bonamici, who is the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, she has been working on the legislation for more than a month.
