Yup.
In loco parentis.
Note to parents: Ignorance is not a good look.
“responsibility of a school’s staff to be acting “in loco parentis” (Latin term)”
Still true, but denied by the socialist insurrection and arrogance of progressives.
Thank you. I’m humbled. I’m just a dopey guy who values freedom with a gift for gab.

You’re right...it’s more than that. In America government is accountable to it’s *citizens*. Time to remind them.
Thanks.
Estrada is well aware of roughly a century of U.S. Supreme Court case law supporting parents’ right to direct the upbringing of their children. But he and other amendment proponents say such a change to the Constitution is still desirable.
And,
Still, the decision rang alarm bells among some conservatives and parental rights advocates, in part because of a dissent by Justice Antonin Scalia that raised doubts about whether Meyer, Pierce, and another decision, Wisconsin v. Yoder, which in 1972 recognized Amish parents’ right to end their children’s schooling after 8th grade, deserved respect as precedents.
Scalia suggested parents’ right to control their children’s upbringing was an “unenumerated right” that was not the province of the judiciary to enforce. As Scalia described it to a law school audience in 2015, such a parental right is “simply not in the Constitution.”Still, the decision rang alarm bells among some conservatives and parental rights advocates, in part because of a dissent by Justice Antonin Scalia that raised doubts about whether Meyer, Pierce, and another decision, Wisconsin v.

The left is deeply ingrained in our public school systems. Unfortunately, I don't think there are enough people behind this issue to make Parental Rights a Constitutional Amendment.
