Parental Rights in Education Act recognizes parents' rights to direct their child's upbringing, education, and healthcare.
The Parental Rights in Education Act recognizes parents' ultimate decision-making authority over their child's upbringing, education, healthcare, and mental health. It prohibits the state from substantially burdening these rights unless it serves a compelling state interest. Parents can access their child's educational records, object to specific instruction, and withdraw their child from activities they find objectionable. The act also allows parents to sue for violations and mandates local education agencies to develop policies promoting parental involvement.
