Parents for Choice in Education (PCE) has initiated a petition requesting Bill 10 amendments or the full recall of Bill 10.
The best way to provide a welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environment in schools is through active parental involvement and participation. A law that expressly and deliberately excludes parents from having a say as to what clubs and activities will take place at the schools attended by their children, and does not inform parents of their children’s involvement in such clubs, is contrary to achieving this goal. It should be the decision of parents (not politicians, bureaucrats, special interest groups, or political activists) as to the format of clubs and activities that are developed at the school attended by their children. A child’s greatest allies are his or her parents, and it is essential parents are informed of the struggles their children are facing with regards to their sexual identity, so parents can support their children going forward.
Parents for Choice in Education (PCE) has initiated a petition requesting Bill 10 amendments or the full recall of Bill 10.
