Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to parental rights.
H.J.Res. 127 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish parental rights regarding children's upbringing, education, and care as a fundamental right. It would guarantee parents the right to choose private, religious, or home schooling instead of public school, or make reasonable choices within public schools for their children. The amendment would require the government to demonstrate a "highest order" interest to limit these rights, and explicitly prohibits denying these rights based on disability. This proposal, if ratified by 38 states, would amend the U.S. Constitution but is not yet law.
