HB 1964 establishes Oklahoma's "Parents' Bill of Rights," requiring public school districts to create policies that give parents specific rights regarding their children's education. It mandates schools to provide parents with access to all learning materials and curricula, allow them to withdraw children from instruction or activities related to sex, gender, race, religion, or "ideological" content (including diversity initiatives), and obtain written consent before students participate in certain programs. Schools must also notify parents in advance about social-emotional learning, religion, or sexuality content outside formal sex education classes. Parents can sue schools for damages if a violation causes harm to their child, and schools face fines for noncompliance. The bill directly affects all public school students and parents in Oklahoma.
