Rep. Omar denies that government wants to prevent parents from being involved in children's education

Progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., argued that the government and educational institutions are not keeping parents in the dark on vital information regarding their children, despite parents across the country accusing schools of withholding information on their child or the curriculum.

"I am not aware of… any decisions that are being made by lawmakers here in Congress, by local lawmakers, saying we do not want parents' input, we not want parents' involvement, we don't want parents' engagement in our schools," Omar said during the House Education and the Workforce Committee hearing Wednesday.

The "Squad" member went on to say that claims from representatives that important information is being withheld from parents are not based on facts.
