The bill enacted by the Louisiana Legislature introduces a new provision under R.S. 17:406.9(B)(14) that affirms the rights of parents of public school children. Specifically, it states that parents have the right to ensure that their children are not taught in a manner that suggests they are currently or destined to be oppressed or an oppressor based on their race or national origin. This provision aims to protect children from perceived discrimination in educational settings.

The new legal language emphasizes the importance of parental rights in the context of public education, reinforcing the notion that children should not be subjected to teachings that could label them negatively based on their racial or national background. This addition to the law reflects a growing concern among some lawmakers regarding the content of educational curricula and its implications for students' identities.
