The U.S. House of Representatives passed the PROTECT Kids Act on a 217-198 vote, sending a clear message: parents have the right to know what is happening with their children at school.
H.R. 2616, also known as the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, requires any elementary or middle school receiving federal funding to obtain written parental consent before changing a student’s gender markers, pronouns, preferred name, or sex-based accommodations.
Only eight Democrats crossed party lines to vote yes.
The rest of the Democratic caucus voted no, choosing to side with school administrators who believe they know better than moms and dads.
