We are back to parents rights. The state is overstepping its role and needs to be restrained. If schools are not performing well or undermining parents, the funds allotted to their children should be given to the parents (no strings attached other than to be used for educational purposes) so their child can be given a first rate education.

Pregnancy centers, at a minimum, should receive the same level of support and investigative care, as abortion clinics. The imbalance is astounding.
