Teachers teach. Counselors counsel. **Parents raise their children.**

Schools have no right to push parents aside when deeply personal issues arise.

Your child. Your right to know. Your right to decide.

Parents don’t lose trust because they’re too involved. They lose trust when they find out what they weren’t told.

Hidden lessons. Secret policies. Unexplained referrals.

**No secrets. No surprises. Parents have a right to know.**

Children experiencing distress deserve thoughtful, compassionate support. But compassion should never require secrecy from families. Significant health decisions need transparency, informed parental consent, professional accountability, and family participation.

Teach America’s failures and triumphs. Teach the struggle and the progress. Children deserve history that is neither sanitized nor reduced to a single ideological lens. Give them the whole story—and the knowledge to think critically about it.

Lynden’s school board turned America’s 250th anniversary into an opportunity for civic learning. Other boards can act too: adopt a resolution, study the founding documents, teach local government, invite community leaders, and create meaningful student projects.

In June 2023, the SPLC labeled Parents’ Rights In Education an “anti-government extremist” organization in its Year in Hate and Extremism report, grouping parental rights organizations alongside violent extremist organizations.

Parents should never be reduced to spectators while institutions evaluate, counsel, refer, prescribe, or facilitate treatment for their children. Schools and providers can offer support, but the primary responsibility for raising children belongs to families.
