with violenceWASHINGTON (AP) House Republicans pressed ahead Wednesday with one of the central planks of their midterm election campaign, introducing legislation to give parents more of a say in school curriculum.
Thats what today is all about: Its about every parent, mom and dad, but most importantly about the students in America, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said in introducing the bill at an event on Capitol Hill.
Reflecting the importance to the GOP agenda, the parents' bill of rights is the first bill that McCarthy has formally announced as speaker. He was flanked at the event by dozens of parents and young children.

The GOP-led investigation is focusing on a letter the National School Boards Association, which represents school board members around the country, sent to the Justice Department in fall of 2021 outlining more than 20 instances of threats, harassment, disruption, and acts of intimidation in California, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio and other states.
