Celebrate Life - July/August, 2002 to contraception and abortion, and to take away what parental rights are left to leftwith the impression that it was the school's role to teach them sex http://www.all.org/celebrate_life/cl0207c.htm
Extractions: July/August, 2002 by Cathy Daub When sex education became commonly accepted in the 1960s and 1970s, it was in response not to parents, teachers, or religious crying out for a solution to a moral crisis, but in an attempt to foster population control and "enlighten" the minds of those who thought sex should be saved for marriage. Interesting, too, are the trends that followed the introduction of sex education. The number of STDs increased, the divorce rate tripled, and teen pregnancy became a norm. The solution to the epidemic number of teens engaging in risky sexual behaviors has been to throw more information at them, more condoms, more birth control, easier access to contraception and abortion, and to take away what parental rights are left to ensure that teens get the most out of their sexual experiences. It's interesting how evil always comes in through the back door. The primary argument for teaching abstinence education or chastity education in the schools is that parents are not doing their job. They are not taking their God-given responsibility seriously. And not only that, but many parents are also not living chaste lives themselves, thus making it impossible for them to teach their children. It may be true that some parents lack responsibility, but we must ask ourselves, should the answer be developing chastity speakers and distributing more sex-ed information? The Church says...

Extractions: What's Wrong With "Parental Rights"? Spring 1996 A divisive campaign is snowballing around the country. It wrongly assumes that educators and parents are adversaries and books are the enemy. Watch for this campaign in your state; it's a camoflouge for censorship! ...Proponents of something called the "Parental Rights Amendment" are trying to amend all state constitutions and eventually the federal Constitution. The proposed amendment states: "The right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children shall not be infringed." ....What's wrong with this amendment? On first reading, it certainly sounds innocuous. As a parent, I want my rights...Why the fuss, then? The Religious Right insists that public school officials have some nefarious scheme for subverting "parental rights," primarily by choosing curriculum and other material that are at odds with their moral values. The bottom line of the Parental Rights Amendment is to give parents active in Religious Right groups a type of constitutional "trump card" to override any decision public schools make that they don't like. How would this work in practice? The Massachusetts legislature gave us one example two years ago when it considered a "parental rights" bill that required two weeks' written notice to parents whenever the children were to be involved in any teaching or activity deemed "controversial." These were not just the hot button topics of homosexuality and abortion, but everything from discussions of values to death and marriage. Worse, if parents did not affirmatively "opt in" every time actually filling out a form noting it would be all right for their children to be exposed to these topics their children were barred from participation.

Extractions: pages 28-29 This article reproduced under permission of The Message. In the early part of this century legislators and concerned men and women began a process of removing children from coal mines and factories. One of the results was to legislate a minimum age that one could obtain a job. The other was a combination of creating compulsory education and the rise of the public school. These results became one of the high points of this country's history during the industrial revolution. To the former peasant in European society and former slaves this meant a chance at a life once reserved only for nobles and former slave masters. The chance to finally read, calculate one's wages, or to simply write one's name must have been one of the most liberating experience one can imagine. Public education, the means of that liberation, has now turned into an oppressive force for many families. The once good, noble effort and intention, is now the place for experiments in social engineering by left wing, radical interest groups. One may have laughed at Jocelyn Elders (former Surgeon General) remarks that masturbation be taught in the public school from 12th grade down to kindergarten thinking that it would never happen. In the reality of the public schools it may already be in the curriculum. Parents in Newton, Massachusetts were fortunate to learn about the inclusion of the subject from the town newspaper. Many parents are not that lucky.
Parental Rights And The Charter parents routinely hired schoolmasters to teach their children lower level court decisionswhere parental rights and family Two of whom were compulsory school age http://www.christianlegalfellowship.org/Articles/parental.html
Extractions: I. PARENTAL RIGHTS AT COMMON LAW Under the common law, parents had a right to direct the education and upbringing of a child, and that included the exercise of that right with others. Historically, groups of parents routinely hired schoolmasters to teach their children, just as individual parents hired tutors. Teachers and schoolmasters experienced the delegated authority of the parent himself. A parent could: delegate part of his parental authority, during his life, to the tutor or schoolmaster of his child; who is then in loco parentis, and has such a portion of the power of the parent committed to his charge, viz. that of restraint and corrections, as may be necessary to answer the purposes for which he is employed. The law in this area in early Canada was not unlike that summarized by the Chancery Court in In the Matter of Meads: The authority of a father to guide and govern the education of his child is a very sacred thing, bestowed by the Almighty, and to be sustained to the uttermost by human law. It is not to be abrogated or abridged, without the most coercive reason. For the parent and the child alike, its maintenance is essential, that their reciprocal relations may be fruitful of happiness and virtue; and no disturbing intervention should be allowed between them, whilst those relations are pure and wholesome and conducive to their mutual benefit.

Extractions: Should the Catholic Church Object to The Hepatitis-B Vaccine? Debi Vinnedge Many articles have been written about the use of aborted fetal tissue in the production of several childhood vaccines. Likewise, many statements by ethicists have been mixed on whether it is morally permissible to use these vaccines. Then how could a vaccine, which is produced in a perfectly acceptable and ethical manner be considered by most parents to be contradictory to Catholic Church teaching? The Hepatitis-B vaccine is now routinely given to newborn infants before leaving the hospital and school age children. It is developed using recombinant DNA technology and a yeast protein. Sounds ethical enough, doesnt it? Unlike its cousin - the Hepatitis-A vaccine, Hepatitis-B uses no aborted fetal tissue in its production. But it is not the vaccine ingredients that is causing morally minded parents to rethink giving it to their children. It is the manner in which the disease itself is transmitted. According to the Centers for Disease Control, those at high risk for contracting Hepatitis-B disease (which is transmitted by coming into direct contact with an infected person's body fluids) are IV drug users, prostitutes, prisoners, sexually promiscuous persons and babies born to infected mothers

Extractions: Speech to Canadian Parliament April 29, 1999 This month, the world celebrates the tenth anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall. With the physical destruction of the Wall, came the destruction of the totalitarian world view that had as its roots the socialist/Marxist philosophy. A philosophy that at its base contained the notion that the state knows best as against all institutions, be they family, church and private organizations. The rise and fall of this statist philosophy in our century is simply another attempt in a long line of examples throughout history to build utopian societies completely on mans efforts and through the force of man made law. In a work completed ten years before the collapse of communism, the Soviet author Igor Shafarevich traced the futile attempt to create utopian socialist societies throughout history. Shafarevich went back centuries and catalogued the historic tendencies of those who restructured societies by force to create the perfected or utopian state. Studying these man made attempts to create heaven on earth through the state, Shafarevich detected three themes common to utopian societies. First , religion was antithetical to the socialist state and must either be subordinated or abolished.

Parental Rights Constitution Amendment The enactment of the parental rights Amendment could eliminate the authority ofschool boards, state policies that help teachers teach and students http://www.veaweteach.org/prconst.html
Extractions: LEGISLATION TO OPPOSE Parental Rights Constitutional Amendment The VEA will oppose a constitutional amendment which would establish the inalienable right of parents to direct the education of their children. Should the Parental Rights Amendment be introduced to the Virginia General Assembly, it will provide that the rights of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children be a fundamental right. On the surface, this amendment sounds deceptively simple. VEA supports parental involvement and local control of education by democratically elected or appointed school boards. The enactment of the Parental Rights Amendment could eliminate the authority of school boards, state education agencies, state legislatures, and the governor to establish educational programs and policies that help teachers teach and students learn, promote safe and orderly schools, and prepare students for jobs of the future. Parents in Virginia already have the right to raise their own children as they see fit. Parents already have avenues to exempt their children from certain school classes or parts of the curriculum. Good parents dont need this amendment and bad parents could abuse it.

Extractions: Attempts to add a Parental Rights Amendment (PRA) to all 50 state constitutions and eventually the federal Constitution have not been successful. Such attempts have been made by the Christian Coalition, the American Legislative Exchange Council (Wash., DC), and "Of the People" (Arlington, VA). This bill, one of the ten planks in the Contract with the American Family, was written by Michael Farris, head of the Home School Legal Defense Association (Purcellville, VA). The most common version of this amendment reads, "The right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children shall not be infringed." The Virginia version changed the last four words to "shall be a fundamental right." The amendment was introduced in at least 28 states but passed in none. In 1996, Virginia's Governor Allen was the only governor to endorse the PRA of which then Delegate Mims was a sponsor. THE PRA IN VIRGINIA Parental Rights Legislation Goes Undercover...

Texas Federal District Judge Melinda Harmon " Y ou are not welcome at this school," warned the second-grade teacher. "We feel that you are criticizing and watching over our shoulder." Stunned, the Kansas mother listened. She had voiced her reluctance to let her daughter attend an "historical" play that touted hypnotism and spiritism. Didn't she and her husband have the right to raise their daughter according to biblical guidelines? Apparently not in the eyes of local educators. They are not alone. A Colorado mother was "expelled from the school grounds" for sharing her concern over the earth-centered spirituality taught as part of environmental education. Two New York mothers faced ridicule for objecting to the use of Magic Gathering-a psychologically addictive occult card game-to teach math. It didn't matter that the elementary age students would "summon" the ghostly forces shown on the cards they collected, calling out "spirits, enter me." In 1988, parents in San Ramon, California, resisted the classroom use of R-rated movies. The movies were stopped-for a season. But four teachers, the local teacher's union, and the California Teachers Association sued the school board and superintendent for (1) violating their constitutional right to free speech in the classroom and (2) for allegedly heeding the religious view of a small minority of citizens. The teachers won. On May 18, 1990, a California Superior Court decided that a teacher's constitutional rights supersedes the concerns of parents and the school board.

Randolph In modern societies, as a practical matter, the state has the power to legislate on a wide variety of concerns. It is a separate question whether the state has the right to do so. One of the most controversial issues facing American society today concerns the right of parents to determine the way in which their children shall be educated. On the one hand, many parents believe that they have a fundamental right to educate their children in any manner they see fit. On the other hand, many people in positions of power wish to limit this parental right by regulating the choices parents may make regarding the education of their children. Some of these critics of parental choice seek to limit their choices to a range of government-approved and government-regulated schools, whether government-funded or not. Others seek to limit these choices to government-funded schools, often called public schools. Either of these types of restrictions would effectively forbid parents to educate their own children in their own home according to their own beliefs and values. The basic question that must be asked (even though unwelcome to the advocates of omnipotent government) is whether any such restrictions on the right of parents to determine the setting and content of the education of their children is morally within the bounds of legitimate governmental action.
