Courthouse News reports:
The Arizona Senate passed two controversial education bills Monday, including one that would empower parents to sue if they feel like educators are interfering with their right to direct their child’s upbringing, and another that would assist parents in monitoring their child’s library habits.
House Bill 2161 expands the Arizona Parents’ Bill of Rights — originally passed in 2010 — by allowing parents to sue any government entity or official that “interferes with or usurps the fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, health care and mental health of their children.”
