A "Parental Bill of Rights" sounds like a good idea, but the rights enumerated in this bill already exist under law. What this bill adds to those rights could relitigate fights over masks in schools, extend the length of the pandemic, and out LGBTQ youth who have not yet come out to their parents.

VERO BEACH, Fla. â The hot topic of masks in schools will take center stage once again in Indian River County.
The school board has a discussion scheduled for Tuesday s 6 p.m. board meeting.
This comes just months after a judge dismissed a lawsuit from several parents who sued the school district, saying the mask mandate was unconstitutional.
Right now, students are required to wear masks at school in certain situations like in hallways, on buses and at arrival and dismissal, as well as when social distancing is not possible. Teachers can coordinate mask breaks when everyone is properly social distanced.
