Parental Rights to Direct a Child’ | Supreme Court | Amici Curiae in support of petitioners | WE WON! U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of parental opt-out rights |
CPAN joined an amicus brief supporting the constitutional rights of parents to opt their children out of school instruction that conflicts with their sincerely held religious beliefs. Coordinating with the Thomas More Society, CPAN provided critical documentation highlighting the real-world impact of these curricular mandates on Colorado families.
Our contribution emphasized the growing trend of school districts prioritizing ideological content around gender and sexuality without meaningful opt-out pathways or transparency. CPAN outlined specific harms experienced by families, including religious discrimination, social retaliation, and mental health impacts on students, demonstrating the urgent need to safeguard parental authority in public education.
