Education was always supposed to be in the control of the parents. The State has no “Right” to impose control/limits/curricula over parents.

Actually, IIRC education is not mentioned in the Constitution. Thus the right of the state is reserved. At least I think that is what the states agreed to when they formed our union.

It would be helpful for some Constitutional scholar here on FR to tell us about this issue.

Tenth Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.[

That phrase “to the people” is where children belong—which includes the education of their own offspring. The Natural Law (embedded into our Constitution) states that the Duty of raising children belongs to the parents ONLY....never the State.
