Parental Action and Rights Enforcement to ensure Notice, Transparency, and Safety

Our Priority

You Have a Constitutional Right to Know What's Happening in Your Children's Schools.

Our Fight

The PARENTS Initiative is the Liberty Justice Center’s frontline project to stop secrecy, defend parental-notification policies, and push back against state officials who try to silence families.

Parents First

Families, not bureaucrats, have the right to direct a child’s upbringing, education, and care.

No Secrecy

Schools should not be pressured to conceal critical information from parents.

Local Control

School boards should not be bullied into abandoning lawful parental-rights policies.

Accountability

State officials who overreach should be challenged, exposed, and stopped.

How We Act

Defending Parents' Rights

The PARENTS Initiative stands with parents, school boards, and districts that choose transparency, accountability, and lawful parental-notification policies. Through rapid-response defense, litigation, and policy enforcement, the Liberty Justice Center pushes back when government officials try to override families.

Rapid Response Defense

We represent and advise school boards and districts targeted for adopting or maintaining parental-rights policies.

Affirmative Litigation

We challenge state laws and agency actions that force schools to hide important information from parents.

Policy Enforcement

We demand compliance from state officials, defend local authority, and help shape model language for lawful parental-notification policies.

Public Accountability

We elevate parents, board members, and local leaders who are standing up to government overreach.

The Battleground

The PARENTS Initiative is already at work in California, where the Liberty Justice Center has defended districts such as Chino Valley Unified and Rocklin Unified against attempts to erase parental-notification policies. The initiative also pushes back against statewide restrictions like AB 1955 and the officials enforcing them.

This is not about politics. It is about power, rights, and whether parents are told the truth about their own children. The PARENTS Initiative answers with litigation, public pressure, and a clear message: parents do not lose their rights at the schoolhouse door.

The Liberty Justice Center stepped in to defend the Rocklin Unified School District's parental notification policy in an appeal from a recent ruling by the Public Employment Relations Board.
