Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl issued the following statement upon the enactment of Curriculum Transparency (SB48) into law:
“The Alabama Republican Party firmly believe that parents should be in the driver’s seat when it comes to the education of our children. Senator Greg Reed’s curriculum transparency bill is a significant step towards achieving this goal, as it grants families unrestricted access to the curriculum and instructional materials used in our schools. We believe that transparency is essential for accountability, trust, and collaboration among everyone involved in our education system. Parents should have full access to curriculum, and we are proud that this fundamental concept was signed into law by the Governor today.
On behalf of the Alabama Republican Party, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Senator Reed for championing this important concept, to the legislature for their strong support, and to Governor Ivey for signing it into law. Safeguarding parental rights is not just a principle; it is a cornerstone of our society, and the Republican Party is committed to continuing our stand to uphold and defend parental rights at every level.”
