SUSIE LEE VOTES AGAINST PARENTS’ BILL OF RIGHTS March 26, 2023 Rob Lauer Political Reporter This week, Republican Speaker of the House Congressman Kevin McCarthy kept his promise to bring to the floor a Parents Bill of Rights bill. The bill was passed in response to the avalanche of Dem school boards across the country implementing vax mandates, failing to protect our kids from violence on campuses due to restorative justice agendas, trans agendas, dumbing down our kids education, and pushing their radical, perv pro gay agenda. Right here in Clark County, CCSD banned conservative moms from meetings for publicly disagreeing with their radical trans and gay policies and pro-abortion agendas. But the school board allowed crazy radicals to openly attack parents and family rights, pushing trans bathrooms and allowing boys to play in girls sports.
