Parental rights in education took center stage during the Citrus County Legislative Delegation meeting on October 30, 2023, as advocates called for stronger measures against perceived indoctrination in public schools. A representative from Moms for Liberty emphasized the need for continued vigilance against "woke ideologies" in educational materials, urging lawmakers to prioritize curriculum transparency and student data privacy in the upcoming legislative session.

The speaker highlighted concerns over the influence of "radical activists" in school districts, asserting that many educational resources contain hidden indoctrination. They pointed to state law that currently protects the review of teacher manuals, suggesting that this needs to change to ensure transparency in what students are learning.

Additionally, the representative stressed the importance of safeguarding student data from EdTech companies, which they claim target and manipulate children through digital mandates. They referenced their participation in the signing of state bill 660, describing it as a positive step but not a complete solution to the challenges facing public education.

The call to action was clear: lawmakers were urged to engage with Moms for Liberty to further discuss these priorities and work collaboratively to protect parental rights and student welfare in Florida's education system. The meeting underscored a growing movement advocating for educational reform and parental involvement in shaping school curricula.
