One Washington Joins the Silent Majority Foundation Lawsuit

As the initiative I-2081 became effective, State Superintendent Chris Reykdal from OSPI issued guidance to school districts around the state to not comply with all aspects of the new law. One Washington engaged Silent Majority Foundation to file a brief in King County Superior court on Thursday, June 13th, to become a co-defendant along with the State of Washington, Informed Choice Washington, Let’s Go Washington, and WSRP to defend the Parental Rights Law passed as a result of Initiative I-2081.

Great News: 454,372 signatures of Washington State Citizens were turned in to the Secretary of State's Office in support of Initiative 2081

Initiative 2081 will provide parents with 15 specific rights which includes the ability to review educational materials, receive certain notifications and opt out of sexual health education. This voter initiative passed with overwhelming support in the legislature on Monday. The new law will abate confusion and cement the rights of parents and will prevent school districts from mistreating parents seeking information.

"We are proud that One Washington’s advocacy efforts - and especially those of you that made your voices heard - successfully united Washington parents across our state and across the political spectrum to stand up for our children and opposed to those who believe government should have a role in how we raise our kids.

Together, we achieved a major political victory. Together, we've created greater protections for our children. Through our continued efforts together , we will make our state One Washington."
