Are you aware that in 2005, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found in Fields v. Palmdale School District “that the Meyer-Pierce right [of parents to direct the upbringing of their children] does not exist beyond the threshold of the school door.”
Further, they declared that, "Parents...have no constitutional right...to prevent a public school from providing its students with whatever information it wishes to provide, sexual or otherwise, when and as the school determines that it is appropriate to do so."
“We conclude that the parents are possessed of no constitutional right to prevent the public schools from providing information on that subject [sexuality] to their students in any forum or manner they select” (emphasis added).
Hmmm...
If this doesn't frighten you and cause you concern, I would like to direct you to a book I recently read called You're Teaching My Child What? A Physician Exposes the Lies of Sex Education and How They Harm Your Child by Miriam Grossman, M.D. If you are a parent, you cannot afford not to read this book. Be prepared to be shocked and appalled.
Perhaps it is time for a Parental Rights Amendment.

Well, it's true that there is no explicit stipulation in the U.S. Constitution regarding the rights of parents with their children. So on the one hand, we shouldn't make the quote say more than it really is trying to say. Should such a right be in the Constitution? Maybe not...
See the following link for some thoughts about that...
