Senator Scott says his legislation is needed because "Parents have a fundamental, constitutionally guaranteed right to raise and educate their children in the way they choose."
The current U.S. Senate is divided 50 to 50 with Vice President Kamala Harris casting tie-breaking votes. Thus, Senator Scott's legislative proposal is unlikely to pass or even come to a vote this year. Nonetheless, the senator has "planted the flag" for parental rights and deserves our support. A new Senate after November's election may be more supportive of the proposal.
