'State Republican lawmakers unveiled legislation they call a \"Parents\' Bill of Rights\" Tuesday.  House Bill 755 would require schools to inform parents of lessons, changes at school and school resources.  It also proposes limits on teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity.  Much of the bill speaks more broadly about allowing parents to request information about lessons their child receives or health care a student might get at school.  Parents could request lessons, textbooks and other learning materials. Schools also need to tell parents about things like tutoring services and ways parents can be more involved with the school.  Schools would have to establish ways for parents to get that information and find out about those services.  \"What it does, is it enumerates a lot of those things we already thought we had the right to as far as information and notifications,\" State Senator Michael Lee (R, District 9) said. \"Hopefully this will make it obvious for everyone now that it\'s in the bill and also more uniform overall.\"  There are also completely new rules. Some directly address sexual orientation and gender identity.  Instruction on those ideas would not be allowed for Kindergarten through third grade.
