Students are discriminated against because of their political beliefs. Addison Barnes filed suit against Hillsboro High School in defense of his free speech rights. He wore his "Border Wall" T-shirt to school and was asked to leave if he did not take it off or cover it up. "If people are offended by his shirt - that's their right to be offended," Barnes' attorney Mike McLane said. "But it's also his right to have his opinion, as well. The constitutional line isn't who's offended. The constitutional line is there a...

Are there really exemptions for exposing children to obscenity? President Ronald Reagan formed a Commission to study the serious effects of obscenity and child pornography in our Nation. In 1984 he signed legislation isolating child pornography as a uniquely tragic and distinct criminal offense. Now, our children are being exposed to pornography in a very different way. Comprehensive Sexuality Education now taught in K-12 classrooms is a far cry from the “health’ classes of the 1980’s. Graphic descriptions of all forms of sexual activities are made available to students, not...

What?!? My daughter was in the school restroom and a boy walked in! Spring of 2016, two midlevel Obama administration bureaucrats issued a directive to all public school districts stating if transgender students were not allowed to use facilities matching their gender identity, the school is out of compliance with Title IX sex discrimination law. It was “guidance,” not a formal “regulation,” and did not go through the typical lengthy review process, including required public input. New York Times reported the letter “contained the implicit threat: Schools that do not...

LGBTQ+ Advocates gone too far? The LGBTQ+ advocates groom preschool children at libraries, indoctrinate students grades K-5 in public school, and recruit students grades 6-8, in middle school Gender & Sexualities Alliance (GSA) Clubs representing over 4000 GSA clubs across the nation. Militant activism, grades 9-12, is fostered  in both public schools and libraries. Library Grooming and Recruiting The evidence is compelling as Multnomah County OREGON Library Drag Queen Story Times for preschoolers have led to teen Drag Queen Workshops.  At the forefront of this effort are the Gay Lesbian...

Parents’ Rights In Education recommends strategies to dismantle the highly organized national push to control our children!! A descendant of the self-esteem movement, the last educational fad is social-emotional Learning (SEL). The term sold to public schools is the “whole child,” including character and ethics education, incorporating psychological insights, and group dynamics. What's wrong with that? Mary Hasson, and Theresa Farnan, authors of Get Out Now, list 5 red-flag non-academic factors: Mary Hasson, Should we Stay or Should we Go? from Parents Rights in Education on Vimeo. Substantive content of SEL programs and resources intrudes...

By law, public schools are to remain politically neutral/unbiased. PRIE opposes the promotion of any anti-American, anti-capitalism, and Marxist ideology by government schools (funded by citizen tax dollars). PRIE also opposes the promotion of radical theologies (including Critical Race Theory) by administrators, teachers, and counselors. We are opposed to influence by outside groups who organize and promote Marxism and/or radical political change within the schools. US students should be taught: US History, Rule of Law, US Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Civics. Interview with CRT expert Chris Rufo Christopher Rufo...

How Public Employee Unions Were Established The National Education Association was founded in 1857. In 1960, NEA members voted against collective bargaining and unionization. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a highly controversial Executive Order allowing collective bargaining in the public sector. Everyone knew public employee unions were putting the unions on both sides of the bargaining table, putting politicians in office and then bargaining with them on the other side. It created corruption, and gave unions undeserved power. Teachers in opposition were silenced and bullied into submission. In...

We want to be very clear; our organization is NOT against the LGBTQ community in any way, shape or form! In fact many of our members are part of the LGBTQ community, and we fight to protect their parents’ rights, ALSO. Gay Couple Support Limited Flag Policy in K-12 Classes Consider this: In an effort to help others, have we gone too far? Parents’ Rights In Education defends all students. They should be required to respect one another, and bullying of any kind, toward anyone should not be tolerated. PRIE...

When did schools become social service agencies- when they decided to bring health clinics to campus! The State says “NO” to alcohol, tattoos, and tanning beds. But, ”YES” to hormone therapy, contraception, and sex change? Like many well-meaning programs in schools, there can be unintended consequences undermining the relationship between children and families. Who decides what medications a minor should ingest? The state or legal guardian? And, who is responsible when choices made, go sideways? Yes, there will always be under served or disadvantaged students and families in our communities....

How Gender Ideology Separated a Chicago Mother From Her Daughter Jul 26, 2022 Jeannette Cooper never imagined she’d lose custody of her child. The 44-year-old lifelong educator always considered herself a loving and responsible mother to her daughter Sophia. But when, at age 12, Sophia suddenly claimed to be transgender, Jeanette was skeptical. Sophia had never exhibited signs of gender dysphoria. In fact, Sophia exhibited many more traditionally feminine behaviors and preferences than Jeannette ever had. To Jeannette, it didn’t make sense. But Sophia insisted, not only that she was trans,...

Parents’ Rights In Education is concerned about the disproportionate focus on sexual relations in public schools beginning in Kindergarten. Designed to change traditional sexual and gender norms of society, controversial behaviors are taught to minors, including details of anal and oral sex, mutual masturbation, and gender options. Even in light of known negative physical and emotional health outcomes for sexually active children, and Age of Consent laws, minors are told they have a RIGHT to have sex early and often, that “[e]ngaging in sexual behaviors should feel pleasurable.”   Kinsey,...
