Right to know

Are my sentences idiomatic English?

-In our society, many people are eager to practise their Right to Know, such as learning what a government official has done with the money that belongs to the government. But this Right to Know has quickly turned into a pretext to allow people to pry into other people's private affairs, such as whether a public figure is married or not, something that the public has no Right to Know. As a good citizen, apart from not prying into affairs that do not concern us, we should also condemn behaviour that disturbs others, and public figures should also have their privacy. The desire for private information should not be satisfied if satisfying it would mean the suffering on the part of others.

Your sentences are all good.
I would not leave 'Right to Know' in title case the third time you used it that way, for there you are not using it as the 'right' you were talking about.
