The House Resolution No. proposed by several representatives expresses opposition to the Michigan Health Education Standards Framework. It emphasizes the importance of parental rights in determining the education of their children, as outlined in the Michigan Constitution and the Revised School Code. The resolution argues that the proposed standards include topics related to gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation that extend beyond appropriate classroom instruction and should not be included in statewide academic standards.
The resolution calls for the Michigan Department of Education to redraft the proposed standards or for the Michigan State Board of Education to reject them altogether. It highlights the need to maintain existing legal protections that ensure transparency in instruction and uphold the rights of families, particularly in relation to sex education. The resolution concludes by requesting that copies be sent to relevant state education authorities and the Governor of Michigan.
