Souza Bill Expands Opt-Out Option

All Idaho school districts would have to develop processes to allow parents to withdraw their children from any “activity, class or program” that the parents believe “impairs the parents’ firmly held beliefs, values or principles,” under legislation that passed the Idaho Senate this morning. Freshman Sen. Mary Souza, R-Coeur d’Alene, who co-sponsored SB 1096a with fellow freshman Sen. Lori DenHartog, R-Meridian, told the Senate, “This bill aims to put in writing the rights of parents to be the primary decision makers for their children. Parents’ rights are given to us by God. We are not saying the state is granting these rights. We are simply putting it in writing in our code that this is the case … and we acknowledge the rights that parents have”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here.
