Parental Rights in the Face of Government Interference

The fundamental liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children and handle their care, custody and management has been an enduring American tradition. Yet today federal, state and local agencies persist in finding ways to undermine the critically important parent-child relationship. Many agencies are trying to substitute a parent's decisions with their own. Schools, hospitals and child welfare investigators think they know what's best for your child. Chapters 1 and 2 summarize the legislation being considered to ensure parents' rights are protected. Chapters 3 and 4 review the use of federal law-enforcement and counterterrorism resources against parents voicing concerns about controversial curricula and education-related policies at local school board meetings.
