Judge Boots Parents from Son’s Schooling

Another judge in Massachusetts has ruled against parental input regarding the education of their own children, this time deciding that a district’s special education program for a 13-year-old can move forward even though his parents refused to sign an authorization for the additional monitoring and counseling…

Officials at Parental Rights (www.ParentalRights.org) said they couldn’t comment on the specific case without seeing more information about the judge’s order, which was issued verbally and not in writing. But they said in general, the system should not push parents away.

“Parents know their children better than anyone and if the state refuses to partner with parents in public schools then we’ve got a serious problem,” a spokesman said.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to share the mission of ParentalRights.org in a radio interview with Betsy Hart, a nationally-syndicated columnist, conservative commentator, and host of the Chicago-based radio program, “It Takes a Parent.”

Betsy is the author of a book by the same title, It Takes A Parent: How the Culture of Pushover Parenting Is Hurting Our Kids — and What to Do About It. Betsy’s message is consistently about reminding parents – and our culture – that it takes a parent to raise a child.

In this twenty-minute interview, Betsy and I discuss the threat that federal judges and international law are posing to parental rights, the importance of preserving the fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of our children, and the mission of ParentalRights.org: to pass a constitutional amendment that will secure our liberty and self-government for future generations of Americans.

UPDATE: The audio of the interview is now available on Betsy’s Blog. Audio also available at National Review Online here.
