And while the Parental Rights Amendment will not give parents any greater power to control the school\u2019s choice of curriculum, it will protect their right to pull their individual child out of any program of an outrageous or offensive nature, like the program in the Palmdale case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parents of 50 Million U.S. Children Soon to Lose Parental Rights by Parental Rights If your children attend public school, you are among those parents whose rights will end the moment your child enters the school.
