This week, 75 parent activists from the National Parents Union, representing dozens of states, descended on Capitol Hill. They came to tell lawmakers the truth about H.R. 5, dubbed the “Parents Bill of Rights Act.” Their presence sent a strong message that the bill left out the voices of the majority of public school parents.

Nonetheless, the bill passed the House today with a 213 to 208 vote. Five Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the bill.

In the run-up to today’s vote, NPU sent parents from all over the country to meet with legislators. They arrived in D.C. fired up and demanding to be heard.

They kicked off their stay by visiting congressional offices, sharing the results of their newest poll, and calling on politicians to stop doubling down on culture wars in education.
