How can parents defend their right to know what is being taught in schools?
Help is on the way.
Working with Wisconsin legislators, WILL has developed a Classroom Transparency Act. If adopted, this law will require school districts to post instruction materials online for parents and taxpayers. This requirement would go beyond the “official curricula” and require all teaching materials to be posted online.
URGENT: The Classroom Transparency Act will be considered at a public hearing on Wednesday, August 11 at 10am, Wisconsin State Capitol 412 East. Let your voice be heard!
Going further, WILL as created a Parental Rights Notification Form. The goal of this form is to seek transparency from individual teachers. Parents can ask a teacher when divisive concepts are being taught and for information about alternative lessons. The goal of this form is not to object to CRT or CRT-inspired lessons, but simply to learn what is being taught in the classroom. It’s your right to know!
More information about WILL’s Equality Under the Law Project can be found at www.DefendEquality.org, and at the CRT Toolbox here.

University students may quickly review course syllabi prior to enrolling. K-12 parents and students should have the same experience. The effort is trivial.
