Legislators enacted the Parents’ Bill of Rights in 2023, key legislation that increases parental oversight into materials being taught in North Carolina schools.

Earlier this year it was discovered that Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools were providing materials to students that violated the Parents’ Bill of Rights, prompting an oversight hearing led by House Majority Leader Brenden Jones on December 10th.

Leader Jones shared on X in advance of the December 10th hearing about four books in CHCCS’ elementary school recommended books that include lewd materials about nudity, with titles such as “It isn’t RUDE to be NUDE” and “The Bare Naked Book.” Following the explosive hearing, the House Oversight Committee notified CHCCS that beginning in January 2026 they “must provide monthly documentation demonstrating full and ongoing compliance with” the Parents’ Bill of Rights.

This week it was revealed that in 2024 Asheville City Schools Board Chair contacted CHCCS staff to discuss how to emulate CHCCS’ attempts to circumvent the Parents’ Bill of Rights.

Conservative North Carolina House leaders have placed a strong emphasis on government transparency and accountability and the oversight provided by the House into these school systems has already pulled back the curtain on the attempts by bureaucrats to push far left ideology on students.
