Parental participation in children's education is the single most essential factor in assuring school accountability to parents.
A Parent Bill of Rights provides a roadmap for parental engagement in their child's educational experience and establishes how a school board is required to engage and respond to parents' questions in the education of their child.
School boards, teachers have and are becoming activists in indoctrinating children with THEIR VALUES and not the parents. While we recognize the tremendous work most teachers do with good influences on children, there is also the problem of damage done to a child with activist agenda's that a parent would not consent to if informed.
Our children are precious and vulnerable and it is the parents responsibility to protect their children, when they are in the care of others parents need to know and have the ability to consent or not to how their child is being treated.
We are working at developing a Parents Bill of Rights that would be applicable to school boards across Canada. This is as much a local issue as it is a national issue.
(a) In advancing the fight against prejudicial classroom curriculum materials, it is important as a parental rights issue to notify parents in advance what curriculum material their children/students are being exposed to, with the idea of full transparency, accountability, the power to be proactive (rather than upset after the fact), getting a list of links to all content, and the ability to withdraw student participation as a matter of right;
(b) This Charter of Parental Rights be linked to social media content control changes, the challenge of critical race theory, and upcoming Bill C36 (vilification of hate against persons/groups);
(c) It is important to create our own narrative in a way that is polite, factual, unique website based, seeks to fight for the human rights of all, generates a lot of attention, names non-complying individuals (teachers, Boards, virtual schools) , and draws attention to bad actors and remediation where this exists
