JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri Republicans gave initial approval Tuesday to legislation that says parents have a right to see the curriculum used in their child’s classroom.
The so-called “Parents Bill of Rights” measure now awaits a final vote in the House and, if passed, an uncertain future in the Senate.
It marks the latest example of Republicans stoking culture wars in the midst of an election cycle by forcing votes on divisive issues, including abortion, transgender rights and race sensitivity training.
