Sens. Tim Scott and James Lankford, along with Rep. Virginia Foxx, introduced legislation to uphold parental rights in education, childrearing, and health care.
“Parents
have a fundamental right to control the upbringing of their child, whether it’s
in the classroom or at home,” Scott said in a statement first shared
with The Daily Signal. “Yet, far too often, parents are
being pushed out of their child’s lives, and kids are paying the price. I will
always fight to put parents back in the driver’s seat and ensure they remain
the lead decision-maker in their child’s life.”
The
Families’ Rights and Responsibilities Act affirms that parents have the
fundamental right to direct the upbringing, education, and health care of their children. It prevents
the federal government from substantially burdening that fundamental right
without first passing a legal strict scrutiny test.
