Family Preservation Foundation Executive Director, Dwight Mitchell launched a new “We the People” petition at the Whitehouse.gov website would call on the current administration to urge Congress to take up Resolution H.J.Res.36 - Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to parental rights.
The “Parental Rights Amendment” will ensure that our country's interpretation of parental rights—that parents have a fundamental interest in directing the upbringing and education of their children and a right to the care, custody and management of their children—will become an explicit constitutional right, superior to the laws of every state and treaty. In other words, it will ensure that the right to parent is treated as a right and not taken away without compelling government interest. Simply put, The Parental Rights Amendment limits the power of government. It puts a giant “Stop Sign” up to Congress and the States, telling them that they may not intrude on the rights of parents.
