Bill > HR0195

This resolution opposes the proposed Michigan Health Education Standards Framework, citing concerns about its content and potential overreach into sensitive areas of education. The resolution draws upon Michigan's constitutional and legal provisions that emphasize parental rights in education, specifically referencing sections of the state constitution and Revised School Code that protect parents' ability to direct their children's education. The key concern is that the proposed standards include topics related to gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation that are deemed inappropriate for mandatory classroom instruction. The resolution formally calls on the Michigan Department of Education to either redraft the standards or for the Michigan State Board of Education to reject them entirely. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies of this resolution be sent to the Michigan Department of Education, the Michigan State Board of Education, and the Governor of Michigan, signaling the legislature's formal opposition to the proposed educational standards.
