The Indiana House of Representatives passed a bill this week requiring teachers post all curricular materials on a web site for parents to see, and it would prohibit schools from teaching that any group of people is inherently racist or sexist, or superior or inferior to any other group.
The Indiana State Teachers Association and Democratic legislators opposed the bill, but it passed 60-37, with a handful of Republicans voting “no” along with Democrats.
Rep. Tony Cook, R-Cicero, the author of the bill and a former Hamilton County teacher, principal and superintendent, said his goal was to try to find a “middle ground” where parents can have more involvement.
“They have a right to be an active voice in their schools,” he said. “They feel they are not heard. Many, in many schools...feel like they are not heard, they’re put off by access to information and materials. We’ve heard hundreds and hundreds of those stories.”
The bill does not prohibit the Social Emotional Learning curriculum that has come under fire from many parents’ groups in the state but does address other issues that have been raised at school board meetings.
House Bill 1134 would remove the defense to criminal prosecution that schools and public libraries now have related to “sexually explicit” material and disseminating material that is judged to be harmful to minors.

The VERY LAST thing unuions want is scrutiny over themselves because they are EVIL and those teachers doing their job correctly have no reason to oppose scrutiny!!!!!!!!!
Odd that people cwho have criticized parents for not being involved now want parents to "butt out"!!!!!!!!!! Parents SHOULD be able to see what kids are being told in school because most are being indoctrinated in communism/satanism not being taught anything!!!!!!!!!!
And remove the "Top Heavy Administrative Positions." Reduce these to a proportion equal to the Private Sector of One to Eight Maximum.

Following the example laid down from the removal of the "Air Traffic Controllers Union", follow suit with the Teachers Union.

Lynn, I agree completely, get rid of the communist dominated unions!!!!!!!!!
YES! Get rid of the unions, and of a lot of teachers too! There are exception to the rule, but in general our teachers are fat, unhealthy, mostly liberal feminists, we can do a lot better for our children than to expose them to the leftist nonsense. After all this time and all the damage to the kids they still don't want to teach, fire them! If they aren5 america loving, patriots, they aren't fit to teach the next generation,
Great idea. Expose these creeps
As it should be in every school. Also make sure your kids come home and report on what they are bein taught.Cameras are a great idea.
Great. Agree, that it should be required in all 50 states.
Applause for the Indiana House of Representatives. If the teachers have nothing to hide, why are they fighting it? Seems very suspect to me! Parents have a right to know what their children are being taught!
