Parent rights established in education of their child, and constitutional amendment proposed.

HF 1018 proposes adding a new section to the Minnesota Constitution that would establish parents' right to direct their child's education as a fundamental liberty. It specifically guarantees parents the right to choose private, religious, or home schooling as alternatives to public school, and the right to make reasonable educational choices within public schools. The proposed amendment would require voter approval at the 2026 general election, with the ballot question asking whether the state constitution should protect these parental rights. If passed, this would change Minnesota's constitutional framework, not current education laws.
