What can parents do to
protect their children while they are in school, or at the library? Can a parent protect his or her child from story
time readers, particularly if that reader is a drag queen sex offender
scheduled by the library or school?
The answer is a resounding
yes, according to a parent’s fundamental constitutional rights guaranteed by the U.S Constitution.
That position is, however,
challenged today in Texas
by library reading coordinators who think they know better than parents what
children need.
In the early 1920s the Supreme
Court of the United States used the doctrine of substantive due process to
declare that certain family relations were entitled to special constitutional
deference - those were parental rights.
In 1923 the Court in Meyer v. Nebraska, ruled that parents have the right to direct
the upbringing of their children when it comes to their education, and affirmed
that in 1925 in Pierce v. Society of
Sisters. Indeed, as if to add
emphasis to this notion, in 2000 the Supreme Court of the United States in Troxel v. Granville, characterized a
parent's right to raise his or her child as “perhaps the oldest of the
fundamental liberty interests recognized by this Court.”
So if the United States
Supreme Court has then traditionally protected parental rights, what is
allowing third parties such as teachers, librarians and drag queens to
interfere with parents exercising their rights over their children, resulting
in the law being used as a vehicle of opposition rather than to support parental
rights? The answer is that culture trends are allowing
this, and even worse are pushing sexuality on children. This trend, however, cannot overcome the law on parental
rights.
The solution? Parents must speak up and stand up to protect
their children by voicing and presenting concerns. That will make all the difference. And a good lawyer to back up that
parent would not be amiss either.
Parents have a fundamental
constitutional right to protect the best interests
of their own children, and no school or library can ultimately subvert that
right. Family restoration is about
parents protecting their children. Just do it.
