Parents of 50 Million U.S. Children Soon to Lose Parental Rights If your children attend public school, you are among those parents whose rights will end the moment your child enters the school. 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.”



You read that right. The court originally held that Parental Rights “[do] not exist beyond the threshold of the school door.”



That line was so starkly offensive that it was edited out during an en banc review of the case, but the decision itself was retained, including the following:



“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” (emphasis added).



Of course, most parents contend they don’t have a choice in where their children are schooled. Either economic constraints or personal circumstances leave them with no practical alternative to the local public school. And that leaves no parental rights at all.



Please act to reverse this assault by big government courts against parental rights. Sign the petition and get more information at ParentalRights.org.



Then, please pass this on. Every parent of a public school student needs to know the extent to which the courts have robbed them of their rights. Add this message to your Facebook account, or it on virtually any other social network. While the Parental Rights Amendment will not give parents any greater power to control the school’s choice of curriculum, it will protect their right to pull their individual child out of any program of an outrageous or offensive nature, like the program in the Palmdale case.
