Harris Delivers Floor Remarks in Support of the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Mark Harris (NC-08) delivered remarks on the House floor in support of H.R. 2616, the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, legislation that puts students first by keeping classrooms focused on reading, writing, critical thinking, and other skills they need to succeed instead of political agendas.

Rep. Harris's remarks as delivered:

"For far too long, our education system has prioritized activism over fundamentals. Parents want their kids to learn how to read, write, solve math problems, and reach their God-given potential. Unfortunately, schools across the country have abandoned biological realities in favor of curriculum that's infused with gender ideology, sexual education, and transgenderism.

"This is not education, this is indoctrination.

"What is equally concerning is the effort schools have put into leaving parents out of important discussions regarding their children. Parents have the right to know what their kids are being taught and what is happening to their children in schools.

"That's why I am proud to stand against the indoctrination of our kids and for parents' rights and I strongly urge my colleagues to do the same by joining me in supporting this bill."
