Hundreds rally at Washington state Capitol to protect parental rights: ‘Enough is enough’

Rally spurred by concerns law that lays out several rights parents have regarding their children in public schools may be rewritten.

The battle over parental rights took center stage this weekend at the Capitol in Olympia, Wash., as some 150 people showed up in frigid rain to rally against what they claim are efforts by majority party Democrats to rewrite Initiative 2081.

I-2081, passed into law by the Legislature last year, lays out several rights parents have regarding their children in public schools, including the right to be notified if a minor child is seeking counseling or medical care concerning sexuality or gender confusion. The law also gives parents access to curriculum and student records.
