How to Stop Schools from Parenting Your Children
Are the kids in your life back to school, or headed there soon?
Whether they're returning in-person or online, you may find
yourself concerned about the kind of material your children or
grandchildren are exposed to in the classroom. Students as young as
kindergarten face increasingly sexualized content and may encounter
material opposed to your fundamental beliefs - and that's
just in the classroom.
Thankfully, parents don't have to feel powerless in the face of
the January back-to-school season. Our new easy-to-read guide, Back to
School - for Parents

, explains what you need to know about potential areas for concern in
your child's school, and helps you understand what you can do to
protect your child.
In the article below, a version of which appeared in The Daily Signal , our Policy Manager
and attorney Stephanie Curry shares more about
the FREE guide, available for download at our website. Check it out

How to Stop Schools from Parenting Your Children
By Stephanie Curry
I'm tired of schools trying to play the role of surrogate
parents.
Like too many parents across our nation, I've become
increasingly concerned about the radical social and
political ideas that are being forced upon our children in
public schools.
While I'm raising my children with biblically based morals and
values at home, schools are undermining and refuting those same
lessons in the classroom. They're striving to replace my
role as parent, and that isn't right.
Parents don't just have a vague and general prerogative to
parent their children. Parenting is a fundamental right. It is a
foundational cornerstone of a civilized society and a right that is
clearly defined and recognized by our constitutional law.
This fundamental right to parent includes the right for us to decide
what kind of educational, moral, and religious upbringing our children
will have, without unreasonable government interference.
Unfortunately, it seems this ancient right is lost on our modern-day
school systems, which work overtime to teach our children a radical
moral code of sexual identity-one that violates the beliefs of
countless families.
We don't send our children to public school so they can be
forced to consider the morality of sexual lifestyle choices.
We don't expect our first graders to be prompted to
speculate about whether their biological sex is a question
that has multiple answers.
We don't expect teachers to lecture our children about the moral
consequences of voting for one candidate over another or to tell our
children (illegally) that they can't pray at
lunchtime.
And we certainly don't send our children to school to be offered
free irreversible medical treatments like abortions or
encouraged to consider cross-sex hormones without our knowledge or
consent.
Once the rare anecdote, these unexpected scenarios are now overflowing
across the nation. There is an alarming trend that concerned parents
need to know about. What exactly is happening in our schools, and what
can parents do to protect their children?
At Family Policy Alliance®, we have released a new book, "Back to
School-for Parents," which takes parents on a journey
through each part of the school system where student and parental
rights violations are trending.

The guide explains the legal rights you and your child have in the
classroom, school bathrooms, sports teams, the nurse's office,
and more.
For example, in the classroom, you have the federal right to view your
child's lesson plans, observe class, and review curriculum. You
also have the constitutional right to opt your child out of classroom
content that violates your religious and moral beliefs.
In the nurse's office, you have the right to limit the type of
medical treatment your child receives in school, such as declining all
"abortion-related" materials.
You have the right to testify at local school board meetings regarding
concerns you have.
"Back to School-for Parents" gives you specific
suggestions you can carry out today to maintain your rights to parent
and define morality for your child even when you send them to school.

"Back to School-for Parents" lays out precisely what
you need to know to face the unexpected. So, if your child is silenced
in class for their faith, or you encounter radical sexual rights-based
education, or you discover what can only be described as pornography
on your school's research database, you'll be empowered to
know exactly what to do to ensure your child is protected.
In addition, co-publisher Focus on the Family has provided guidance
for each topic on how to talk to your child about difficult issues
with a compassionate, honest, and forthright perspective. The book
walks you through conversations with your child on difficult topics,
like sexuality, identity, pornography, and more.
With this guide, you no longer have to wonder how you can possibly
protect your child's moral, ethical, and religious beliefs at
school-a place where some of the biggest controversial issues of
this generation are argued.

We believe parents-not the government-are best at
parenting. "Back to School-for Parents" will help
provide much-needed support families are seeking so they can do what
they do best-parent their child.

Alliance's website. Check it out and share it with friends and family today.
