National School Choice Week (January 25–31) is an ideal time for parents to reflect on their rights and responsibilities in directing their children’s education, Attorney General Todd Rokita said today.
“When parents aren’t in control of their children’s education, bureaucrats and ideologues step in to fill the void — indoctrinating our kids with divisive ideologies instead of teaching core fundamentals,” Attorney General Rokita said. “That’s just one reason school choice is essential: it empowers Hoosier parents to select the best path — public, charter, private, faith-based or homeschool, ensuring education aligns with family values rather than one-size-fits-all government mandates.”
To support parents navigating K-12 education, the Attorney General’s Office first released the Parents’ Bill of Rights in 2021. Now in its fourth edition, this comprehensive guide covers key areas such as curriculum transparency, medical decision-making, school choice and religious liberty.
Additionally, in February 2024, Attorney General Rokita launched the Eyes on Education portal, an online tool for parents, teachers and citizens to report concerning classroom materials or curricula. Attorney General Rokita invites Hoosiers to visit the Eyes on Education portal and submit any materials that raise concerns.
“Here in Indiana, we are blessed to have many great schools and outstanding teachers,” Attorney General Rokita said. “But we are not immune from the troubling trend nationwide of left-wing indoctrination creeping into our kids’ classrooms. We must remain vigilant and fight back when necessary. And we must exercise our rights to choose where our kids get their schooling in the first place.”
Both the Parents’ Bill of Rights and the Eyes on Education portal are available at the Attorney General’s website.
