Bill Would Clarify Parents’ Rights

Sen. Mary Souza, R-Coeur d'Alene, co-sponsored legislation in the Senate Education Committee asserting parents' rights in the public education system. While the bill has not been assigned a number, it was introduced for printing on Monday. The bill is co-sponsored by Sen. Lori Den Hartog, R-Meridian. "I'm not saying parents didn't have rights to begin with," Souza told The Press on Monday. "This just makes it clear what those rights are." Souza said she has been approached by many constituents who would like the Legislature to clarify their rights as parents, and to remove any ambiguity from the law/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press.
