Attorney General Todd Rokita’s Office offers Parents’ Bill of Rights and Eyes on Education portal to empower Hoosier families
With classes already back in session in many Indiana K-12 schools and many more about to start, Attorney General Todd Rokita is again alerting Hoosier parents to understand and exercise their rights to protect their students against ideologically-inspired teachers and administrators who attempt to indoctrinate our children.
To empower parents navigating the K-12 system, Attorney General Rokita’s office released the Parents’ Bill of Rights (PBOR) in 2021, now in its fourth edition. This comprehensive guide outlines parental rights and responsibilities, covering critical areas like curriculum transparency, medical decision-making, school choice, and religious liberty.
“Parents have the fundamental right — and responsibility — to educate their children,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Schools are simply supposed to be the hired help. And this is a two-way street: Teachers and schools shouldn’t have to be the parents. But too much of the time, they are. The government should never overstep into raising our kids.”
Additionally, in February 2024, Attorney General Rokita launched the Eyes on Education portal, an online tool allowing parents, teachers, and citizens to report concerning classroom materials or curricula. As the new school year begins, Attorney General Rokita is calling on Hoosiers to visit the Eyes on Education portal and submit any materials that raise concerns.
He said incidents in Hoosier classrooms underscore the need for vigilant moms and dads to pay attention to the lessons their children are taught.
“Indiana has many outstanding schools and dedicated teachers,” Attorney General Rokita said. “But we’re not immune to left-wing indoctrination creeping into classrooms. Through the Eyes on Education portal, parents and teachers have flagged troubling examples that demand our attention.”
Both the Parents’ Bill of Rights and the Eyes on Education portal are available at the Attorney General’s website. With a new school year in swing, parents are encouraged to make use of both resources.
And will you be equally vigilant about right-wing indoctrination?
