Everyone seems to have personal rights today, everyone that is except parents.

Parents have more rights than they realize!
It’s time for parents to learn about their rights, raise their voices and protect their children!

United States Supreme Court

Ruled five times in favor of parental rights, overturning state control of children. Oregon has violated these rulings by passing laws superseding those rights.

 “The child is not the mere creature of the state... the state of Oregon, by forcing parents to place their children in public school] unreasonably interfere[d] with the liberty of parents and guardians to direct the upbringing of their children under their control.”            

-Pierce v. Society of Sisters
The 9th Circuit STOLE Parents’ Rights!

In 2005 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found in Fields v. Palmdale School District  "that the Meyer-Pierce right [of parents to direct the upbringing of their children] does not exist beyond the threshold of the school door."

The court stated, "We conclude that the parents are possessed of no constitutional right to prevent the public schools from providing information on the subject [of sexuality] to their students in any forum or manner they  select.”
Federal Law Protects Parents’ Right to Review Curriculum  

Under a federal law called USC 20 1232(h), parents have a right to see ALL instructional materials, regardless of format or context.https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/20/1232h

Send to the school your request by email with "REQUEST TO VIEW CURRICULUM PER USC 20 1232(h)" in the SUBJECT field. Include in the body of the email the following:
  • Name of the curriculum 
  • How and when you may review it
  • Include a reasonable deadline, such as on or before next Monday, September 25.

School districts routinely hide curriculum in teacher's manuals, which instruct teachers to write it on an erasable surface. They may cite "copyright" or claim that they have no written curriculum. Remind them, federal law applies to ALL curriculum, regardless of format or context. If they claim no hard copy available, ask to attend the class in person.

The best option is to OPT-OUT. Search our website for: OPT-OUT forms for curriculum, health care, counseling, and surveys.

Include with any OPT-OUT Form submitted instructions: 
  • “YYZ school is not authorized to teach my child anything on (the subject), I haven't been given access to, and 
  • "I hereby revoke all previous permissions and authorizations.” 
  • “You will be held liable for any harm that comes to my child, or my family as a result of your failure to comply with my lawful request."

Be respectful, but firm, and relentless. This may take repeated reminders.

"What, then is law [government]? It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense."
