Rep. Omar denied that the government wants to prevent parents from participating in their children’s education.

Progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, argued that the government and educational institutions do not keep parents in the dark about vital information about their children, despite parents across the country accusing schools of withholding information about their child or curriculum .

“I don’t know… any decisions made by legislators here in Congress, local legislators saying we don’t want parent involvement, we don’t want parent involvement, we don’t want parent involvement in our schools. “, Omar said during an education and workforce committee hearing on Wednesday.

The Detachment member further stated that the representatives’ allegations that important information was being withheld from their parents were not based on facts.

“So I just hope we put an end to this argument that is not based on the real facts that are happening in our communities,” Omar said.

Parents complain that their child teachers keep them in the dark. Fox News Digital recently reported on an Idaho School District policy that prohibits educators from sharing certain information about a child with their parents, including sexual orientation. Teachers who violate these rules may be fired.

“School officials must not disclose a student’s transgender status or sexual orientation to others, regardless of setting, including other school personnel or (in the case of middle school, junior high school, and high school students) the student’s parents/guardians unless they have a legal need to know, or if the student has not authorized such disclosure,” the school district’s policy states.

One mom, Aurora Regino, is suing her school district for allegedly secretly crossing her child without her knowledge. The child was reportedly struggling with the loss of a family member, and when she sought help from the school, the school counselor advised her to take on the role of a man. The counselor then allegedly told the teachers to call her with masculine pronouns without her parents knowing.

Just a few weeks ago, St. Louis Children’s Hospital advised the Missouri School District not to require employees to disclose to parents the practice of chest bandaging students.
