Bill allowing Utah parents to sue teachers and schools significantly watered down

In thefrom Sen. John Johnson, R-Ogden, parents would be the ultimate authority over the education their children received in public schools. The bill seemed to create a legal framework allowing parents to file suit and seek monetary damages if their rights as a parent were infringed upon. That included suing teachers or school boards, or even filing suit against the Legislature.which was made public Thursday afternoon, stripped out that part of the bill.

Johnson’s overhauled proposal now says parents are responsible for the education of their children, but the bill explains that parents will work through elected representatives to make sure their rights are respected and upheld. A line in the bill states the freedom of speech of elected officials “may not be restricted or impaired” by the body of which that person is a member. That sentence appears to be in response to the Utah Board of Education
