WASHINGTON D.C. (WSET) — Republicans in the House of Representatives passed legislation called the Parents' Bill of Rights Act on Tuesday with a 213-208 vote.

The bill focuses on parental rights in the classroom, a topic that has gained national attention.

Representative Ben Cline (R-6th District) said the legislation "reaffirms and protects a parent’s God-given right to be involved in their child’s education."

“'Parents are furious at the Radical Left’s continued attempts to indoctrinate our children with woke agendas in America’s public schools. As a father, I firmly believe that parents have the right to know and make decisions on what is being taught in the classroom without fear of being silenced,' Cline said. 'That is why I am proud to join my Republican colleagues in passing this important legislation to reclaim parents’ role in their children’s education and prevent Big Government from controlling the narrative in our schools.'”
