Why do we need a
Parental Rights Amendment? Maybe
you can answer that question yourself after you answer the following
questions.
The questions below were taken from the Parental Rights flyer
on "Why We Need the Amendment" You can get copies to share with
your friends and family at the website. www.parentalrights.org
- “Do you believe that parents and not the government should have
decision making control over children?”
- “Did you know that the government has already stripped parents of
a great amount of authority?”
- “Did you know that state agencies can remove a children from your
home based on an anonymous tip, with no corroborating evidence and without
any regard for your 4th Amendment
right of due process?”
- “Did you know that parents lose all legal authority over their
children when they drop their kids off at public school door?”
- “Did you know that school systems can teach anything they want to
your children and you have no right to know what they are being taught or
to opt them out of classes you think are objectionable?”
- “Did you know that over 1100 school systems in the
- The government run schools can also mandate public service as a
graduation requirement?
- In the Doctor’s office the government run public schools and
health clinics can treat your child for STD’s or drug and alcohol issues,
hand out and prescribe prophylactics and in many cases arrange for
abortions of your child without your consent or knowledge?
- Did you know that the courts are already using international law
to determine how children in our country should be treated?
- Did you know that one senate vote of 67 senators could effectively
remove all state law and authority over family law and federalize and or
internationalize it?
This issue
should scare you more than any other social or political issue you can
name. Once the government
and non-governmental agencies get the power to decide what our nation’s young
people are taught, what they can and cannot do and what they can and cannot
believe our country, our freedom and our way of life will vanish.
Some of you may
not be surprised at this information, others may have never heard it before,
but it is real and is happening all over the US
Here are a few
links for you to check out for yourself.
The issue of
Parental Rights is a bi-partisan issue, an American issue. Recent Zogby polls show that across
the board regardless of political, religious affiliation or race people agree
that parents have the best interest of the child not the government.
Update on the
PRO‘s recent activity:
The Parental
Rights Organization has joined with several other parent friendly organizations
and leaders to support HR2769 Ron Paul’s Parental Consent Act. This bill would prevent federal funds
from going in any organizations to establish or implement any universal or
mandatory mental health, psychiatric or socioemotional screening program.” It
goes on to define such programs to include “any student mental health screening
program that allows mental health screening of individuals less than 18 years
of age without the express written voluntary informed consent of the parent or
legal guardian of the individual involved.”
PRO does not
often take a stand on any legislation beyond the PRA but we fully support the
requirement of informed parental consent for any program intrusive to the
privacy of children therefore we support this bill in the US Congress.
Two other
concerns we are researching more fully are New Department of Labor regulations
that appear to impact the right of parents to determine whether their teenage
children manage certain kinds of equipment or work with certain animals on family
farms; and New Department
of Education guidelines for interpreting and applying privacy policies under
the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act(FERPA) These policies may impact the right
and ability of parents to protect the privacy of their children who attend
public schools.
The question most
people ask after hearing this information is what can I do? First if you have not signed the
petition please do so. Secondly
visit www.parentalrights.org and find out what you can do
financially to support the organization. Thirdly sign up to be a
volunteer. There are so
many volunteer opportunities even if it is just sharing the video “Overruled”
with your family and friends.
Thank you for
your support.
Peace of Christ-
