Wisconsin Senate Approves Parental Bill of Rights; Veto Expected

The latest attempt to codify who makes the decisions for children in Wisconsin is headed for an almost certain veto after the Wisconsin Senate approved AB 510, also known as the Parental Bill of Rights. The proposal spells out 16 specific rights reserved for parents, including the right to make medical decisions and the right to decide what name their child uses in school. The legislation also gives parents the right to see what their children are taught in school and the right to opt out of any class they object to.
