North Carolina House lawmakers held a Dec. 10 oversight hearing where Chapel Hill–Carrboro City Schools defended its compliance with the Parents’ Bill of Rights (SB 49) as Republican members accused the district of openly violating provisions on parental notification and K–4 instruction on gender identity.
