Upholding Constitutional Rights And Parental Authority In America’s Education System

The Attorney General issued a directive emphasizing the Department of Justice’s duty to protect parents’ constitutional rights in education. The memo highlights concerns that some state and local authorities have introduced controversial ideologies into schools while silencing dissenting parents. It reaffirms that parents have the First Amendment right to speak at school board meetings and the fundamental right to guide their children’s moral and religious education. Federal authorities are instructed to monitor and respond to any violations or retaliation against parents exercising these rights.
